I know how the committing system is supposed to work and it going through -current first. I'm not a raving newbie, please don't treat me like one. > Reply-To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Mail-Followup-To: stable@freebsd.org So your MTA should take one or the other, not both. > > My question still stands, can these patches get in, somewhere ? > You're still talking to the wrong list. You're still not giving me any information on which list to talk to or what else to do. I don't run -current, so I don't read freebsd-current. I run -stable. Around the 2.1.* era I spent time working on things, this problem is one of the reasons why I never bother developing or tracking down problems that don't directly impact me - even if I do, that information can sit in a PR for years and never be touched. Once something is in a PR, that needs to be looked at by someone with the ability to say "yes, this is good and should be committed to current" or "this needs some work or could be done better" or "this isn't appropriate". This often doesn't happen (even allowing for the volunteer nature of the project) and IMO is impacting the project negatively.
