Your mentor has does NOT give you the right to do this w/o an OK'ed by
the maintainer. I think Will has been around here enough he doesn't
need to be considered a mentee any longer? Or is this something you're
going to hold over his head forever.

Oh REALLY?!?!? Since Will took over, I now have someone to assign
make(1) PRs to. He is also working closely with Mark Espie / OpenBSD to
merge our make with theirs (and NetBSD's).
This is PRECISELY the type of work that does not get done w/o a
maintainer because it isn't sexy nor fun.
As someone more senior than you around here, I think I'll back out your
commit.
