You should have initially been directed to the following file, where various committers can "claim" various parts of the src code: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/MAINTAINERS?view=log That's the good news. The bad news is that no one has claimed those two areas. > Certainly I can report another PR with the problems I spotted and > wait 2 years before I get an answer, but I don't call that problem > solving. I understand your frustration. Right now we have far more Problem Reports than we have committers to handle them. > However I think, it's more sad, that the freebsd developer community > is just ignoring the patches they are sent and doesn't considers > quality assurance. It's not that they are ignored. It's that we lack sufficient manpower to process them all. For instance, we have no paid staff to look after Problem Reports, even the ones with patches. I am hoping that when we replace GNATS that it will finally be possible for people to "vote on" problems that they would like to see fixed. mcl
