Oh, for crying out loud, we've already been through this. Only *one* person (the maintainer) needs to have access to host the distfile. I know *you* have full-time IP connectivity to the internet and the ability to host a distfile somewhere under your control. If it's unacceptable to you for it to be hosted on the 30-40 ftp.freebsd.org mirror sites, then go and put it somewhere else and the port can be changed to point to it. The only stumbling block I see here is that it requires you to go out and actually do some work, so as usual it will probably never happen and you'll just keep talking about how it should have been done, until the end of time. Go ahead, prove me wrong -- I'd like nothing better than to finally have hard evidence that you're capable of being useful to the project.
