As I understand it and have seen. the gitc was turned off on main 
site, so it has like 45 dead links to the git and patches and the link 
to add is there, but basically useless.

13 May 2026 -- BusyBox 1.38.0 (unstable)

BusyBox 1.38.0. (git, patches, how to add a patch)

The stuff in all the () is basically dead for some time.

I've done this to clear out the () stuff.
curl -s https://busybox.net/ | sed -E 
'/href=.*(fixes-|__stable|_stable)|fix.html/d' > busybox_clean.html
diff busybox.html busybox_clean.html

But maintainer would have to decide is just living it as is, or fixing 
it in this way, or something else.

Use 
https://www.deadlinkchecker.com/website-dead-link-checker.asp
put in busybox.net and do single page scan.
Results - 100% scanned - 148/148 URLs checked, 102 OK, 46 failed
git and patches fails.
