-is a fork of
-.Nm cgit .
+is a fork of cgit.
+Upstream cgit has long been stagnant,
+with the vast majority of patches
+sent to the mailing list
+going silently ignored,
+despite their obvious merit
+in many cases.
+This fork aims to incorporate
+a number of existing patches
+as well as to provide a friendlier place
+to send new patches.
+They will,
+at the very least,
+get a reply.
+This fork also aims
+to make new releases
+which can hopefully be picked up
+by package repositories,
+making it easier for users
+to run an improved cgit.
