The objective of all wireguard implementations is to provide a simple
and uniform interface. Unity is very important. I have no interest
debating that point further. It is a stated project goal and a core
design consideration that drives discussion on this list forward.

The main repository is on git.zx2c4.com, but if people want to use PRs
and issues, and Sascha wants to review those, then that's of course
fine. Use whatever tools necessary. The important aspect is that the
canonical location for all WireGuard projects remains the same.

You are so very wrong. If you start with this stupidity, sure, you'll
get brokenness. But if you actually attempt to carry out something
worthwhile, then each and every such difference will be squashed and
unified. I certainly intend to toil away to achieve this goal.

By the way, are you actually intending to contribute anything here, or
are you just on this list to bikeshed about procedural issues?
