I totally agree, for minor changes, as explained in [1]. Changing the version of the software is not a minor change. For this port, it should take about 2 minutes to create a patch with the new version, and open a PR with the update. One can then forget about it and do other stuff. If the maintainer approves the patch, one will get a notification, and it is easy to either create custom searches in bugzilla to see PR that are more than 14 days old, which you can go through every few days and commit updates that have timeouted. 1: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-maintaine= r.html --=20 Mathieu Arnold --jl5nw6ekodyukvhm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAABCgB9FiEEOraXidLtEhBkQLpbOkUW81GDzkgFAltO+g9fFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDNB QjY5Nzg5RDJFRDEyMTA2NDQwQkE1QjNBNDUxNkYzNTE4M0NFNDgACgkQOkUW81GD zkhO8A//e+abGqKRlSALhDyBxfRA3n8l7mJ+h2f/5SI91dxgnVc55a2PaKjD8K2d nKuhngUVJVwNwath6dpzH/IAXqSe3UmI6n4DngNhwGsgMqmOynKWRiYja+uT5FL/ NA6+NkzaFV7Q9fxdJTh5Opz2epkezEqDCGanRMMRwub/bMJyTevruPD57tc5sZYF mag8eNqolU0RbkE5YxeVY80nbW7mUzu4DmhYw9R4i4eEKUeEQ6YVmBqksaXT5Pme DMpZgFkDYzEnFeBKmJxGRC3vV5CHzPRVBnJuVjhYx2mwTJV8xUBquBZY0BsXLTCY 5VrAYpkvAPPnH4JWis0iWtcTpJTyBNqNJk1pNYuQOnLGF/IEeqyJLnStBCh5STGP rh/DYh8i3QYXaJT9qtCCgaAoFmnVuDA+1rnFmP0JQ8I6gHLIqRg79nrOTGV9AFXH 3u8MDYZk0oQ3YVZzuk3gRU90CvHyEWCMxxEgKFeeCPZMZK0r4kJzKhKz39rXfT9x jhcK7Cj0kDR1bjvmfsh2c7Es0Ktv+sL+/lvkuGAIddv6Yd2aURtoHZEICxg9tiWX aAA9IHKZQ6OxEOOu/DBS3tEM5dYqNV6Nyr7ORgLtecHB48XpeMl2gGzbk6ASarap JksUcgcCExlHS3qGlC3hOrt4CPe11hSzeraGaiXxxcm0SrGAZcU= =+TBS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jl5nw6ekodyukvhm--
