Sure. Any time...

Problem reports can be opened by anyone.  It is also possible for
everyone, all the people who read a problem report, to reply to the
problem report, providing followups that FreeBSD developers or the
submitter of the PR might find useful.  When the problem described in
a PR is solved, then a FreeBSD committer can close the problem report.

If the answer to one of the problems described in the PR database of
FreeBSD is trivial, as you say, you are most welcome to submit the fix
to the particular problem as a followup post to the problem report.

All you need to do in order to send followup to an existing PR is:

	a) Open your mailer.

	b) Create a new mail with a subject like this:

		Subject: RE: docs/37037: Your text here.

	   You should keep "RE:" before "docs/37037" and make sure
	   that "docs/37037" is replaced by the proper category/ and
	   /number combination.  In the place of "Your text here." you
	   can either put the "Synopsis" of the original PR, or just
	   add another normal subject to your message that you like
	   better when describing the problem.

	c) Write your comments about the problem described in
	   docs/37037 (or whatever the PR you are replying to is).

	d) Post mail.

Cheers,
