In fact, is the strategy I use for all my repos, both personal and professional (in this case, we do SCRUM, and each commit should reference a bug/task/improvement ticket). Bundling a bunch of changes of a branch into a single one doesn't sound as good, though. That could only mean that you have a really broken commit policy for your git repo, and that you need this to make some sense of it ;-) > I'd personally like to review patches as a Git repository published > on in whatever manner you prefer.

Using git with a sane commit policy, there're plenty of options. Generating patches with format-patch, pull requests, or, as you said, directly examining the commits in the repo. That said, moving everything (repos, issue tracking, milestone management and even CI) to a self-hosted Gitlab instance (or some other similar, FOSS tool) would surely make the life of both maintainers and contributors a lot easier.

Weston has a variety of its own backends, so you can run in under X11, directly on FB/DRM, or under another Wayland compositor. To run it you'll just need to build wayland-protocol, wayland and weston (the forked one). Probably, there should a page in the wiki explaining this, among some description of its design and internals. > Have you filled copyright assignment forms with FSF?

Not yet, but I filled them in the past for other projects (GNU Hurd, GNU Mach, and Glibc, I had a wild youth ;-), so this shouldn't be a problem.
