Yes, I remember.

I am not an expert either, but I would first of all open a PR. Their you can publish your patches against sources. Someone else will later commit your patch if accepted.

The sources are at:

/usr/src/contrib/blacklist

In /usr/src/contrib/blacklist/bin you'll find blacklistd.conf and the config files in /usr/src/contrib/blacklist/etc

I am using a git repository (STABLE) to recompile world and kernel from sources. 

Thanks and regards,
