It also depends on how much of the legwork you've done in regards to the port. If you check with Satoshi on whether the port should go in the category you've selected, that's a real plus. If you check your port with portlint, then all the better. If you check the website (if there is one) relating to your program, then thats good. If you check with Satoshi on whether a repo-copy will be needed (and even convince him to do it before somebody imports your port), that's another plus. :-) There's a lot of things you can do to ensure speed in committing ports. Doing all the legwork for committers is one of the best ways. :-> -- Will Andrews GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
