This happens sometimes and the best I can recommend to *anyone*
faced with desultory response from -committers is to follow this
track:
1. Submit the bug fix or enhancement with send-pr, waiting
for your acknowledgement and assigned tracking number to
be returned.
2. Wait about a week. If it's committed, go back to step
1 for your next change. If not, go to step 3.
3. Send mail to committers@freebsd.org saying "Hey, is *anyone*
going to commit PR#123456 or at least tell me why it's bogus?
Please? Thanks!"
4. Wait a week. If it's still not committed, send mail to
jkh@freebsd.org saying "HEY, THEY'RE IGNORING ME OVER THERE,
HELP JORDAN!!" and I will step in and try to see that it's
resolved somehow, even if I have to commit it myself.
I hate to see this happen to anyone.
