Would you be interested in taking them?
I've been there, done that. Many years ago, if interested search history for the runit-init package. Today I don't think runit is the right choice for integrating as init system into Debian. Take a look at s6, nosh, or perp maybe? Although I thank you for your efforts and interest in runit, I'm happy with the runit package in Debian as is. Regards, Gerrit
