Why not have a "pr-moderator" for each category (i386, kern, doc, etc), who approves each incoming PR. Basically this person would act as a front-line defense against spammers, but it would also allow them to assign PRs to developers as they are submitted, rather than letting them sit in the PR database for weeks/months before anyone picks them up. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
