Hi. Welcome! If not yet read, the article below would be worth reading as a start point. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/developers-handbook/ If you prefer starting from ports, you need to read below. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/ And if you find bugs / problems, don't hesitate to file a bug for it here. https://www.freebsd.org/support/bugreports/ IIUC, Bugzilla is the only official and "tracked" way to report without patch(es) to fix. (Phabricator is for code review, and GitHub mirror doesn't seem to have "issues" functionalities but pull requests, thus, need patch or code.) IIRC, unlike when I've registered years ago, manual interactions are needed to obtain your account AFTER trying to register via web interface, to avoid spammers / AI bots.
