This is probably something we don't advertise enough; one of the most common paths to committerdom is via recognition of work on PRs, either submitting new ones with fixes, or taking old ones, solving the problems and updating the PR. Whether you write new PRs describing things you've fixed, diagnose other peoples' PRs, or just march along saying "this one isn't reproducible anymore, so it must have been fixed", you a) help the Project and b) get yourself noticed. > I wonder if my conceptualization is common, and if so maybe there are more > people willing to pummel the committers with new code?

I think it is; and certainly if you pummel the committers with new code you're going to find yourself nominated to be on the receiving end pretty quickly. 8) = Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
