I am more or less a bystander and not really active, but this caught my attention (and the thread above). Above all, the main reason I am not active is that it seems that submitting patches is a hit-or-miss affair. They tend to get blackholed about as often as not. So I don't submit any: I just locally fork any package that I need to change, and in addition I keep a number of extra packages that way; basically, I maintain a private overlay in /etc/nixos. Now if there was a simple and documented way to submit patches (*especially* new packages) that would actually work, it would probably make my life easier, even as a bystander, by reducing the size of the overlay significantly. Btw., I am planning a not entirely small deployment of NixOS later this week, so I would really like to hear something positive about sustainability. (Well, there's still time to call it off and stick to Debian, although I do like NixOS more on general principles.)
