You just have to provide build servers and maintainers, and then copy the way debian does it. > Before you ask, no, I can't help.

Sure, what programs do you want to maintain ? Can you provide a build server ? Me myself, I could work on . removing bogus debendancies on udev in packages . busybox init . kernels without iiniramfs for traditional desktop computers with ahci sata if. . udev-less systems just don't know the devuan process.
