I've seen at least two posts now where I've been held up as an example of
doing something about systemd. First, thank you for your kind words :)
Second, I can't take all the credit :) Besides the VUA collective
(Jaromil, Nextime, Hellekin, and others?), there's also:

* Dima Krasner, who is working on LoginKit (
https://git.devuan.org/pkgs-utopia-substitution/loginkit), as well as
building Puppy Linux from Devuan, and getting lightdm to work without
logind.
* Isaac Dunham, who is working on libsysdev (
https://github.com/idunham/libsysdev) and getting X.org to run without
libudev.
* Scooby, lepoitr, John Carline, and other anonymous contributors who are
helping me test vdev on live hardware.

I'd like to get a list together (perhaps on the wiki?) of the names or
aliases of the people who are working on making Devuan possible, so we can
give credit where credit is due.
