Why didn't you followup to the PR and ask for it to be reopened, or point out that there was a problem? >> ports/76724 - patch committed after a week >> docs/87445 - immediately adopted by a committer, being worked on > > I received no e-mail notification of either.

You could always have looked at the PR. >> Oh, how we have wronged you! Please let us know how we may correct >> this grievous injustice! > > Nice sarcasm.
