Doug,

Ignore that, I found it:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198224

I've set the maintainer-approval flag to "+" for you.

Note: this is what I meant in my on-list reply by:

"This of course requires the maintainer-approval flag was set to ? with
your email as the value first."

In your issues case, the flag hadn't been set yet.

I've created a new issue on this exact point, so as to make setting the
maintainer-approval flag automatic. You can follow it here:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198271
