A few general questions. How does a committer choose which port PRs to tackle? How does a committer choose which patches to apply? How can I encourage a committer to apply my patch or even LOOK at my PR? How does one get a PR removed once the bug is either gone or clearly not going to be fixed? Especially on an old bug. And are cosmetic patches to -RELEASEs and -STABLE pretty much wasted at this point? Like documentation to LINT and man page corrections and things? Specifically, I've sent a PR with patch (I forgot the [PATCH], sorry first one) And I'd like it applied. Though it seems that there are quite a number of PRs and mine looks like it will be lost in the flood. I've also got a number of cosmetic patches saved up, but I'm not sure whether to send them as patches to -RELEASE 4 or 5 or -STABLE or -CURRENT or all of the above. Sugestions please?
