We need to punish our most active submitters with commit
bits on a more regular basis. That means less open pr's
and submissions being dealt a lot faster. I was delighted
to see most of my fixes/updates/additions being committed
(not without corrections) in less than 48 hours when I was an
additional contributor. That eased my work as a sysadmin,
enriched my freebsd-on-all-of-my-desktops experience and
encouraged me to devote more time to my work as a
maintainer.
