Oh, yes, sorry, you even wrote a message (about a listen(1) command) not too long ago :)
I will be happy to send a 0/n introductory message (git send-email --compose) for any future proposed series, i was not aware that was the custom here. Indeed, i wrote this series because i could find no clear instructions for how to propose improvements to runit's codebase.
I'm not sure. This is more of a discussion/questions list than a patch-sending list; as far as I'm concerned I don't like to receive patches without some discussion before or at least a little context, but for runit you'd have to check with the new runit maintainer, if there's one - Gerrit, before you leave, please designate one, and if the answer is "it's maintained by Debian/whateverdistro these days", then we'll know the right place to send patches is the Debian/whateverdistro ML (but the actual maintainers should still subscribe to our list and read it).
Alternately, if there's a better way to propose changes than sending mail to this list, i'd be happy to rewrite code.html to document it, but i don't know what it is.
I'm sorry I don't have a clearer answer. Until we know more precisely how the future of runit is organized, it's kinda in a limbo state. (Shameless plug: in the meantime, you could take a look at runit's cousin, s6. ;)) -- Laurent
