Sorting the pkg-plist is a trivial change, and was the maintainer's
responsibility in the first place. Asking for maintainer approval
for trivial fixes supports a level of bureaucracy that, while nice
in concept, simple prevents people from applying trivial fixes.

Note that I'm not commenting on David's other commits to rdesktop;
I haven't looked at them. Note also that I do not know what is in
the PR. My only argument here is that committers should not feel
like applying trivial fixes and routine maintenance to the ports
tree amounts to stepping on someone's toes.
