Hi Daisuke,
Good question -- and one that I shall defer the answer to the new maintainers.
Personally, I never accepted git pull requests because I always felt that
it was more valuable to expose proposed patches to the larger audience
that make up this mailing list. So when PRs came in, I coerced the
submitter to use the list.
Hagio-san and Bhupesh says they want to keep the current way
based the mailing list, and so I'll send the next patch set by
email.

Yes, when the packages are updated, the URLs will have to be changed. During the build
procedure, the package verification will fail if the upstream URL is defunct.
Thanks. I'll make sure that when we update the packages next, and
redirection will be helpful.

Yes, and then Kazu, Liang or Bhupesh will be able to update that page.
I see.
Thanks.
