Sometimes they need a prod. :) Or more hours in the day. I know I haven't been as active at this as I'd have liked, mostly because my spare FreeBSD time has been devoted to the Doc. Project. covers what was meant to happen. Shortly after writing that up I got hit by RSI, which very effectively prevented me from doing anything with a keyboard for a couple of months. More -maintainers would definitely help. It also probably wouldn't hurt to have -maintainers automatically cc'd everytime a PR is closed, which should be a sufficiently frequent prod. Also, couldn't incoming/ be NFS mounted read-only on freefall? That should let committers (committers == has account on freefall, right?) even if the -maintainers have collectively gone on their summer holidays? I'm going to try and spend a couple of hours tomorrow (Monday) evening going through incoming/ to work through the worst of the dreck.
