Sure!

For everyone's information: there are currently the following branches
available (more to come): clisp, libchannel, nsmux.

I'd say we can simply see how this evolves over time.  Now, that doesn't
help you too much when just beginning to work on the branches in there,
so to make a useful suggestion: what about, e.g., using (a)
nsmux/scolobb-WHATEVER, or (b) scolobb/nsmux-WHATEVER, or (c)
nsmux-scolobb-WHATEVER (as suggested on
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/rules/source_repositories.html>).  I
don't really care, so just pick one.  If you need some help which one to
pick ;-):

    $ echo "main(){printf(\"%c\n\",getpid()%3+'a');}" | gcc -w -x c - && ./a.out
