Fair enough; recent changes in perception of what should be (thankfully) allowed to commit without explicit approval had mitigated the need for release of maintainership (as hard lock) considerably. > "maintained by community" means "maintained by nobody" and you only have > to look at pkgsrc to see how successful this approach is. Interesting. Given your DragonFly experience, can you elaborate a bit on the situation with pkgsrc, which I think was used as primary collection for third-party software, yet later had switched (back?) to dports? Or point me to some article or blog entry (WRT "how successful this approach is"). > I'll continue work under the concept "ports@FreeBSD.org" ports are > unloved and fair game. I don't think I'm alone. Another solution is team-maintainership; I still do not quite understand why it did not work out with games@ (several months ago, all games@ ports were reset to ports@). There was some discussion AFAIR, but I didn't find it convincing (nor can remember it now). ./danfe
