That was an example. The same issue posted here received an answer after
less than 20 minutes, with at least a temporary solution within, while
neither a solution nor a feedback was given on devuan-discuss yet.

DNG ML is a better place than devuan-discuss to get help, get feedback
and gauge Devuan project activity. The website does tell another story.
If people gauge Devuan project activity and community based on their
interaction with devuan-discuss, they will probably be disappointed. I
think it is harmful when it comes to attract more people inside the
community. That is my point.
