Sources is not kept up-to-date by volunteers, unless you mean
contrib, it is maintained by the Labs. Also, in a way, the sources
server *is* Plan 9, rather than being updated *with* Plan 9.
Plan 9 doesn't traditionally use version control. Rather, most
disk-based Plan 9 file servers offer some form of history in the
form of dumps or snapshots. 9fs sourcesdump will mount the sources
dump, and you can inspect daily changes starting around some 12
years ago using regular Plan 9 tools such as editors, yesterday(1)
and diffy(1).
History management is superior in Plan 9 compared to git and
mercurial. What git does better (at least according to some people),
is patch management. The Labs and 9atom use some patch management
technology best described in their manuals rather than on the mailing
list. 9front uses mercurial for patch management.
