Create a pull request template in github [1] 2. Include in it links to bugzilla and instructions for people to create = a parallel bug report with a link back to github The main reason I like github is that it is trivial to fork the repositor= y, copy in my patched port files and add comments to the commit. It is co= nsiderably more different to remember to create .orig files and then diff= them all, bundle it into a shar format and attach to bugzilla. This is all from the perspective of someone who makes a submission once e= very 3-6 months. Obviously if I had svn commit rights or had even checked= out the ports tree from svn then I'd have other options. Most people lik= e me use portsnap so they don't have an svn checkout.
