That's the real shortage > around here. :( Do we need to deal with PRs for old releases (which seem to be the majority out there)? It has happened to me on other software projects that I filed a PR, then the problem mysteriously vanished during the next release, so I sent a follow-up and it was closed -- but it's likely that many of the existing reported problems had also vanished and were never closed. Would it be useful for someone to go through the PRs, and if it's on 2.2.8 or something, mail the original sender to confirm whether this is still an issue? I'm willing to spend some time on that sort of thing (famous last words?) I'm not much good for anything else, as far as FreeBSD is concerned, it seems to me... The other thing is to weed out duplicate PRs -- different reports describing essentially the same problem. I have seen this in FreeBSD as well as other projects. Unfortunately I can't actually test the bug reports -- at least the ones involving system crashes -- because I don't have my "own" machine to play with just yet... Anyway, if I want to make myself useful here, exactly what do I do? Is there a sort of meta-sendpr mechanism to fix problems with the current bug list? - Rahul.
