 Initially the Subject line was:
 
   "spamd port insists on fdescfs mount"
 
 which is not enough information to get the attention of the auto-nagger.
 
 In general, when a FreeBSD developer comes along and uses GNATS to manually
 fix the synopsis to be the correct:
 
   "mail/spamd port insists on fdescfs mount"
 
 they're then supposed to forward the corrected message to the special email
 address "gnats-aa@FreeBSD.org".  It looks like this didn't happen in this
 case.  (I'm not sure if it was me, or someone else.)

 The only way to get followups into GNATS is to Cc: "bug-followup@FreeBSD.org"
 (I think there is another equivalent, perhaps gnats@FreeBSD.org).  It is not
 necessary to Cc: any of the mailing lists; that will happen automagically.
 
 If GNATS doesn't see the email, GNATS doesn't do anything with it :-)
 
 (Also, followup email must be prefixed with "Re: ports/12345: " (or whatever
 number) for it to be handled correctly.  AFAICT the rest after that is
 irrelevant, but that part must be literally correct or it will create a
 new PR which will then have to be fixed by hand.)
