The t60_unbrick.html[1] page didn't show any images on gnu.org but it
worked fine locally with 'make test'. A sysadmin from the FSF noticed
that these pages had an .htaccess and after temporarily removing them
the pages worked again. So removing the .htaccess should fix that
issue.

It is possible to install GNU Boot on I945 Thinkpads without opening
the computer even if the nonfree bios sets the bootblock region (the
last 64K of the flash chip) read-only.
The flash chip looks like that:
+----- -----+---------------------------+-------------------------+
| ... | Secondary bootblock (64k) | Primary bootblock (64k) |
+----- -----+---------------------------+-------------------------+
0 0x1e0000 2MiB
To bypass the read-only restriction we use an utility (bucts) that
tells the hardware to swap the primary bootblock with the secondary
one for the next boot. We then have to disable that swap and reflash
again.
CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK generates the two bootblocks
directly in coreboot so we don't need to use special commands to do
that anymore.
In addition the MacBook 1.1 and 2.1 are known not to have such
read-only restrictions so they don't need to have
CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK enabled.

The various scripts present in GNU Boot are very fragile, so it's a
good idea to have a pristine GNU Boot source code for making releases.
The issue is that 'git clean -dfx' doesn't remove existing git
repositories like coreboot/ grub/ etc, so we need additional code to
take care of that.

The various build scripts are scattered around in multiple
places. This make it hard for contributors to understand what they
need to modify.
Most GNU Boot users are interested in running GNU/Linux or BSD
operating systems. And the way to install software on these
operating systems is through a package manager. So most users and
contributors already know the package manager abstraction.
So using that abstraction makes it easier to find where things are.
The scripts to install dependencies don't really fit the new structure
but for now we move them in to make sure that everything works
fine. This could be fixed later on and migrated to a single
dependencies packages by auto-detecting the distribution with
/etc/os-release.

GNU Boot might have to send some of the patches upstream so we can't
have a policy that applies to everything unless we also look into
upstream projects and GNU policies as well.
In addition we might need multiple ways to satisfy upstream
constraints to fit different needs / compromise from people wanting to
contribute anonymously.
And as the problem raised here is more global it is better to have a
more global answers and find ways that also work with upstream projects
as well.
Being a GNU project, GNU boot would also need to look into the GNU
policies on the topic and also try to see if for instance the FSF
copyright assignements could also be used in some cases to fix that
issue.
There are also other things worth looking into as well. For instance
Software Conservancy also handles copyright assignments and Asahi Lina
that contributes anonymously to the Linux kernel while satisfying
their very strict policy about tracking copyright ownership.

In Parabola, the libreboot-utils and various u-boot packages needed
Libreboot as it was providing deblobbed source releases of Coreboot
and u-boot.
Because of that and also because I need also deblobbed u-boot for Guix
and Replicant, I ended up being involved in Libreboot.at and then GNU
Boot.
However the Replicant project also needs my help, so when joining
Libreboot.at and then GNU Boot I mostly wanted to have a project I
could rely on and be able to easily send patches to it.
So the idea was that once the project would be in a good shape I would
reconsider if I still needed to be a maintainer and try to see if new
contributors wanted to replace me (to have more than one maintainers)
and then go back sending patches from time to time as a regular
contributor to have more time for other projects.
This is why we used the word "interim" at the beginning: I was not
sure (and still am not sure) to want to stay maintainer of GNU Boot
forever. Adrien however has other plans.
