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. > A trivial issue and a trivial fix, but I've been reading manpages, > several doc folders at the site, and google's fbsd mailing archives > and still I'm not exactly clear on what I can/can't should do in > order to get the fix sub[com]mitted..

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.
