Just works™ from here on? There's a pretty big backlog right now for various reasons, but yes, in general that's how it works. Somebody should claim the PR, review it, if necessary either correct it or send it back for fixes, and finally commit it. If a perfect patch is submitted, the submitter doesn't need to do anything else. The hump is getting it claimed. Sometimes it happens quickly, other times it takes months. Sometimes, after it's been sitting there a few weeks, a public cry for help gets some committer to take pity and claim it. There's no queue or fairness involved unfortunately. > >> seriously, why not? > > While I offered to adopt the port in the PR, the answer to that one is > easy: > I'm running a FreeBSD machine for less than 24h so far (if we ignore > playing with it > 6-8 years ago) and I'm not sure if I should change a > maintainer field _just yet_.. ;) Fair enough. :) John
