And who will review patches made? There are already six push requests pending on OpenRC github for a long time: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pulls And some of them are fixing long-standing severe bugs such as https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391945 is fixed by: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pull/12 https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pull/13 We tested these patches on our infra and they work fine. Though without upstream accepting/reviewing these changes for a long time all enthusiasm dies slowly... I understand that all devs have issues of their own to handle and I don't want to blame anyone due to a lack of time. I just want to point out that lack of contributions is only one side of a problem. Another one is that someone with proper authority should take care of such contributions.
