Every one of the projects in this repository is available at the canonical URL git://git.madduck.net/madduck/pub/<projectpath> — see each project's metadata for the exact URL.

All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to patches@git.madduck.net. If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them, I'd be especially grateful.

SSH access, as well as push access can be individually arranged.

 ## Stability Policy
 
 The following policy applies for the _Black_ code style, in non pre-release versions of
 _Black_:
 
-- The same code, formatted with the same options, will produce the same output for all
-  releases in a given calendar year.
+- If code has been formatted with _Black_, it will remain unchanged when formatted with
+  the same options using any other release in the same calendar year.
+
+  This means projects can safely use `black ~= 22.0` without worrying about formatting
+  changes disrupting their project in 2022. We may still fix bugs where _Black_ crashes
+  on some code, and make other improvements that do not affect formatting.
