We used libre kernel before but we now settled with Debian kernel which
is since totally free nowdays (since Wheezy if I am not mistaking).

Yes, people can go to https://github.com/purism/ and fill bugs. Notice
that we are preparing our own infrastructure so we aren't dependent on
GitHub but rather just mirror there from our infra.

We don't, our repos are:

deb http://repo.pureos.net/pureos_meta stretch main
deb http://repo.pureos.net/pureosrepo pureos main
deb http://repo.pureos.net/puresecurity stretch/updates main

And we only have main in sync so adding contrib and non-free is not
possible.
