Must be one of those unwritten things. I recall mat@ weighing in on this a couple of times before. Anyhow, there are too many times I have had to obtain maintainer approval from a maintainer who hasn't submitted any other patches or done any other work on a port, only to wait for a maintainer approval that never arrives. Therefore check for commits where the maintainer has submitted patches and check for PRs. If the last commit was handing over maintainer approval and the maintainer has done nothing since, simply commit without maintainer approval then. I can't recall how many times I've come across this issue. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
