I must have already asked this before, but: how do I modify the wiki?
Do I just send patches to bug-hurd? Is
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/web.git the wiki's repo, or is
it https://darnassus.sceen.net/cgit/hurd-web.git, or something else?

Other than it apparently being Markdown, how do I run the wiki locally
/ preview my changes? I do see there is a ./render_locally script,
which calls an ikiwiki executable; is that it?

Alternatively: I see there's an edit action, as in
https://darnassus.sceen.net/cgi-bin/hurd-web?page=index&do=edit, which
wants me to log in somehow ("Select your account provider").

What is the right way?

Now, onto something else: I'm still waiting for any review/feedback on
my glibc patches [0] (and now I see they lack Signed-off-by...) and
the symlink rewrite [1]. I understand that you're busy (and so am I)
and that Flavio's and Damien's work that you're merging is more
important, so — just a gentle bump.

[1]: https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2021-06/msg00016.html

By the way, I see my/our patches from summer 2021 (remember those
vulnerabilities?) have been pushed; does that mean the copyright
assignment has been completed and I can make larger contributions to
the Hurd repo? I don't see any new letters from FSF.
