obviously writing up documentation for release.d.o is much appreciated,
however since 3 days DevRef in unstable is not using SGML anymore, but
ReST, so writing patches for DevRef has become much easier, should you
(or someone else) also wants to update it.
My rough plan is to update DevRef by one bug per week in the next
year... patches & further help very much welcome! DevRef is maintained
in the Debian group on Salsa so if you are confident you can also commit&push
yourself, or do MRs if you prefer reviews and more pairs of eyes.
