 * The problem is that FreeBSD people are not sending patches back to authors.
 * This has been the case at least with ssh, pppd and djpeg.  As this is only
 * with the authors I happened to discuss with for some other reason, I think
 * the problem is worse than just a couple of programs.
 * 
 * I would propose that ports would not be committed at all before the patches
 * have been sent to authors.  If it is optional, people are too lazy to do
 * the sub-5-minute job to check out the authors address from docs and mail
 * the patch file.  If the author decides not to accept the patches, it is
 * authors problem, then, but at least you tried.

Please lead by example.
