Recently the number of ports PRs without the name of the port in the Synopsis line has started going back up again. As a reminder, we have more than 13,000 ports in the Ports Collection, and although _you_ know which of these 13,000 your PR applies to, a casual reader might not. This is especially important if the PR does not get immediately committed and instead sits around in GNATS for a while. Failing to include this information generally means that it takes longer for someone to work on the PR -- in particular, it is hard to assign a PR to a maintainer if you can't figure out who the maintainer really is. As a further reminder, ports PRs are category 'ports', not 'misc'. 'misc' is our most useless PR category; almost everything in there should either be 'kern' (affects machine-independent kernel, driver, or library code) or 'i386' (problems noted on that architecture only.) Thanks. Mark Linimon bugmeister
