What are you even talking about? I found two patches authored by
Guillermo by simply searching for the email he is using right now with
git in a local copy of the *official* repo that I cloned via `git
clone https://git.busybox.net/busybox/`

$ git log --oneline --author='[email protected]'
c8e3922ad free: add 'available' memory if provided by the kernel
75a1403f2 free: handle "cached" value too

That is more patches authored by him than the single patch I found
from your address... (though when I just grep more broadly for your
name I see a couple more from Denys suggested by you)
$ git log --oneline --author='[email protected]'
e0bf3df02 ash: add bash-like ERR trap and set -E

Now, I say this as someone with zero official contributions to busybox
(who only joined this list relatively recently to try and upstream
some changes I had made locally and have received no traction on), but
I think you are the one coming in with off topic post hoc
rationalizations rambling about git being down and this being some way
of legitimizing a patch and changes happening in snapshots etc when in
fact there has been no trouble accessing the official git via the CLI
and it remains the authoritative upstream source. While I agree it
would be nice to see more engagement from the maintainers and webhosts
of the project on this list, that is outside of all of our control.
