There are two roles: The maintainer (the person that decides what changes go into a port), and the committer (the person that has commit rights to the freebsd port repository). For a new port, the submitter of the new port is normally also the maintainer. I found your port and patches at http://minica.unix7.org/ and will have a look, anyway (if I find the time). > > Submit patches via bugs.freebsd.org for the two ports, and > > the maintainers will decide if they include them. > > If they do not answer for a long-long time? Then the PR / patch runs into a maintainer timeout (14 days) and any committer can override the maintainer (if the patch is valid). > Or the committer will have a bad mood? There are more committers, so one committer is hopefully not the bottleneck. If one committer is not doing the job, poke another one to ask to take over. > So already it was some times. If you have cases like that (and I'm guilty of that as well), post the PR number here and some other committer will pick it up. -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 3 years to go !
