After bug #916998 it turned out that we need another repo for TexLive: Please create a texlive-core-patches repo on gitweb.gentoo.org where the DCO hook is active but no OpenPGP signed commits are required, and grant negril and me access. Description for the repository: Gentoo-specific patches for TexLive Core.
Flow: how does proj/texlive-core-patches.git differ from proj/tex-patches.git?
I think tex-patches predates my involvement with tex in gentoo. As it appears unused I hoped that we could use texlive-core-patches.git instead, since it would be the precise name. Nevertheless, if you feel that we should re-use it, then that's fine too. I just need push access.
As per IRC, we will use the existing tex-patches.git instead.
