Synopsis: www/mod_bandwidth change of maintainer (includes updated files)

State-Changed-Why: 
Err ... no.

Let's see if I can provide a quick tutorial on our PR submission
system :-)

The idea is not that we have one PR per file changed -- the traffic
on the mailing list would become overwhelming.

For new ports (only), we want a sharfile -- of all the files in the
directory.  (e.g. Makefile, pkg-descr, pkg-plist if there is one,
distinfo, and anything in files/ .  The work directory should not
be included).

For existing ports, we want a single file that is the result of
diff -ruN against an existing tree.  This allows us to figure out
what has changed.

Also, as stated, I'm not sure why you're requesting maintainership of
a port that already nominally has a maintainer.

A lot of the above is explained in more detail in:
