When I submit a patch I fix *your* code (not yours > personally, but you get my gist). Let me pretend that I don't get it. It is as much your code as it is mine if you are a user of FreeBSD. I just happen to have a commit bit at this point in time. > No other project requires a > non-committer to be so ridiculously persistent in order to get a patch > through. There are about 5000 open PRs for FreeBSD base system, maybe more. There are only a few dozens of active FreeBSD developers. Maybe less for any given particular point in time (as opposed to a period of time). And dealing with PRs is not always exciting. Need I continue? P.S. Using GNATS for the PR database doesn't help either, in some technical ways. -- Andriy Gapon
