I've had different results with different developers. Some respond well to direct mail and poorly to PRs, others watch PRs but tend to ignore patches sent directly to them. A PR is the official method, so it's the one I recommend. Tagging it with "[PATCH]" makes people pay more attention to it (though that's not documented anywhere), but if you don't really have a patch, DO NOT do that! Submitting a PR, then if it's ignored for a while, ask for someone to check it on -current or -hackers seems to be the best route. Of course, giving the PR number to jkh at KW beats them all hands down, but is hard to manage :-). <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
