Becoming a maintainer seems to be really easy. Having one's PRs committed is a bit more difficult and sometimes takes 4-6 weeks (I had a case recently with 155399 and 155400). Maybe, if maintainer can "somehow easily" become ports committer, this hurdle might be lower ? -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 9 years to go !
