I usually submit a PR with the changes, and CC the maintainer at the same time. They can either approve my changes, or submit/commit their own. If you mail them directly they have to submit the changes themselves, and it's not already logged as a PR. Arguably it's more work for the maintainer that way, but some may prefer it. If you use porttools it'll submit a PR and CC the maintainer... Cheers, Tim. -- Tim Bishop http://www.bishnet.net/tim PGP Key: 0x5AE7D984
