List, I opened a PR in November 2004 regarding the pcre (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) library. All I wanted to do was to add 5 lines to the Makefile (i.e., it's not rocket science), in order to allow people to specify the --link-size option that can be fed to the configure script. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/74369 A couple of weeks later, the PR was "handed over to maintainer". Since then there's been no activity that I can see. I sent a polite message to the e-mail address of the maintainer in early January asking if they had any idea on when my patch could be folded in, whilst acknowledging that they may have a Life and may not have the time to respond in a timely manner. I never heard anything back. It's now March, and the PR is still open. What does one do in a case like this? May I become a committer for this port? Thanks, David
