Hubbard" Sender: current-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'd really appreciate it if someone could sign up to code review with Mark here.. He's obviously committed to making it better, and having it stall for lack of a good reviewer would be sad. David has John, I have Poul, Mark has... Nobody, it looks like. Somebody out there must have an interest in crypto! I, unfortunately, could care less about crypto or I'd sign up for this myself! C'mon, folks, I know that my lack of interest is most definitely NOT shared by others, and you know who you are, so please - give Mark a break here! Thanks!
