For the past few years, I have taken care of the ConTeXt Release Notes.

I am the current maintainer of MetaPost and a core member of the LuaTeX project team.

Currently, I am working on a subsidiary TeX Live network install repository that is called TLContrib

comment Is there a “smoking gun” to distinguish between ConTeXt and plain TeX
Any '\start...' is good enough to differentiate between plain and ConTeXt, if you do not care about old-school amsTeX files.

comment Get confused about the `command` option in some ConTeX \setup*
Empirically works best ;) But almost always, the arguments are to-be-typeset text arguments (as opposed to e.g. setups or variables) and generally, they are in the expected order: the text object that you expect to be the leftmost in the typeset output tends to be #1, next is #2, et cetera.

comment Bad position equation number Lualatex
@HendrikVogt: I like the idea, but can you please email me or the luatex mailing list? SX is not the best place to discuss these things.

Agreed, it is a (previously unknown) engine bug. Submitted as tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=807

comment Are XeTeX and LuaTeX platform dependent?
IEEE754 double precision floating point is needed to assure that the Lua language behaves the same on all platforms, and that requirement is not really about exposing internals (but with IEEE754, the glue_set calculation is no longer platform-dependent, indeed).
