It's coming but its absence does not preclude re-assignment at present. Let us know what needs changing once we figure out whats actually needs changing.

This changed a while, but not that long ago. Please update the vbox@ alias to the following recipients: https://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox > It sounds like the alias only continues to exist to catch mail for where > it's referenced.

There's been some ambiguity with respect to vbox / emulation / virtualization addresses and what they've been, and/or *should*, be used for. We need to clarify that again, before any changes are made: vbox: MAINTAINER for virtualbox ports and issues emulation: MAINTAINER for linux emulation and qmu ports [1] and mailing-list for same/similar Note: emulation / vbox are different "teams" sets. the fact that emulation goes to a mailing list and isn't as *explicitly* a "team" or specific set of maintainers (people), is the main source of ambiguity here. virtualization: default assignee, cc for bhyve, xen, aws, vmware etc issues and mailing list for same/similar > I'm sure we can wait a while for bugmeister to deploy their change, > mass-reassign and delete the alias. > > Philip >
