A comment on The Future of PrivacyTools.

Just thought I'd point out that I have a standing PR with privacytools from late 2019 and it never went anywhere, even though I was careful to ensure everything was done correctly.

https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/pull/1619

After that experience I determined that privacytools is a club for cool kids.

Your PR claims to resolve issue 1618, but an open question in that issue is not addressed anywhere that I can see:

"tell more about VyOS and how it is a privacy tool and secure and how we won't regret listing it [...] remember citations so your research can be confirmed"

Is it possible that the privacytools folks are not willfully excluding your suggestion, but merely waiting until they understand it? I know what VyOS is, but I don't imagine most people do.

Seems like a bit much to me. It’s pretty clear that the issue is no one maintains the router firmware section.
