The biggest reason for this is because I'm actually using Fossil for source control instead of git, and this is a git export for visibility and convenience. Fossil also is built around a cathedral model rather than the bazaar model [0], so it it indeed harder to make one-off commits to the repo. It should be possible to have bidirectional git/fossil support, but I haven't explored it for now.

There's no guide yet because I'm not ready for any random stranger to be able to make a contribution.
However, if you (or anyone reading) are interested in using developing Patchwerk, please email me at this is paul batchelor at gmail dot com (no spaces).
