I could push it to a git-repo from which you can pull.

I tried using git format-patch but I just gave up in frustration when I
could not find out how to take out files when amending a commit.

--snip more git frustration which cost me ~15 minutes right now--

The only ways I intend to work with git are via emacs vc-mode or via
hg-git. So either you can take non-amended series of commits with
repeated corrections (emacs vc-mode), you can take regular diffs or you
pull from a git-repo (hg-git). Or I have to give up on contributing,
because I don’t want to hurt my brain any more with the git cli.

Ah, that looks like it’s a python3 issue. The easy workaround would be
to just disable python3 for hg (as for the other python-vcs’).

Best wishes,
