Dude, you didn't get even very figuratively slapped in the face.

Anyway, it's great that you want to help. Personally, I'd suggest,
first, install, run, and get to know Devuan. Hang out on the mailing
lists and IRC and answer technical questions when you can. Learn Devuan
Project's institutions and forums, e.g., make some interesting and
useful pages on dev1galaxy. And thus figure out how you can mesh with
and help build this community.

In anticipation of your doing that, which is not a lot like long
lectures on minimalism, giving Devuan volunteers a hard time and
chewing up their time, and wanting to be individually briefed on what
Devuan desires -- let alone padding your Drupal-deployments portfolio,
which the cynic in me strongly suspects this entire noisy campaign is
about -- thanks in advance.

If you won't do that, oh well -- and please see .signature block.
