It's more time-consuming than it needs to be for FreeBSD users to determine to whom/where report bugs should be addressed for bugs which are not FreeBSD related. (This is probably an even worse waste of time because of the mis-addressing of bug reports to FreeBSD addresses. And I can tell you from experience that it has a discouraging effect on bug reporting in general.) What I'm thinking would be a fairly easy improvement to this situation would be to have a standard comment field in some port file (probably Makefile) which lists a destination (e-mail address or URL). Usually this would be filled in by the port maintainer, but if he didn't want to fill it in (especially just after establishing this scheme), it could be left as "to be determined" to be filled in later, maybe by a user under a FreeBSD PR.
