The Debian maintainer is now Dmitry Bogatov. * https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/runit
And unless I'm mistaken, he's not subscribed to this list, which is a shame. It makes no sense for software to only be maintained for a distribution (unless, of course, it's distribution-specific software); and in particular, it makes no sense for runit to only be maintained for Debian and Ubuntu - it will never run there as an init system, and systemd already provides supervision mechanisms. I miss the time when most software was distro-agnostic, and distro maintainers worked together with software authors, called "upstream" for a reason, to adapt the mechanism to their policies. s6 is not getting phagocyted by a distribution any time soon. -- Laurent
