I've formatted this as a FAQ, please feel free to open an issue for any additional question and I'll add the response here.
Q: What impact will this have on me?
In most cases, you shouldn't notice any change.
The only exception I can think of is if you pull code directly from https://github.com/visionmedia/debug, e.g. via a "debug": "visionmedia/debug"-type version entry in your package.json - in which case, you should still be fine due to the automatic redirection Github sets up, but you should also update any references as soon as possible.
Q: What are the security implications of this change?
If you pull code directly from the old URL, you should update the URL to https://github.com/debug-js/debug as soon as possible. The old organization has many approved owners and thus a new repository could (in theory) be created at the old URL, circumventing Github's automatic redirect that is in place now and serving malicious code. I (@qix-) also wouldn't have access to that repository, so while I don't think it would happen, it's still something to consider.
Even in such a case, however, the officially released package on npm (debug) would not be affected. That package is still very much under control (even more than it used to be).
Q: What should I do if I encounter an issue related to the migration?
Search the issues first to see if someone has already reported it, and then open a new issue if someone has not.
Q: Why was this done as a 'patch' release? Isn't this breaking?
No, it shouldn't be breaking. The package on npm shouldn't be affected (aside from this patch release) and any references to the old repository should automatically redirect.
Thus, according to all of the "APIs" (loosely put) involved, nothing should have broken.
This has been a long time coming and is no joke one of the most important releases of node SerialPort. We have a massive amount of Electron users and this makes their lives a 1000 times easier. This only happened thanks to @GazHank please find him and give him three cheers of thanks 👏 👏 👏
