Speaking of which... if there's one thing which could be done to improve committer / non-committer relations, it would be to *do* something with all those PRs. The ports team is pretty good -- my maintainer updates have always been committed fairly quickly -- but I've never had a src patch committed without badgering committer(s) about my PRs. Don't misunderstand me; I think the project is heading in the right direction, and committers are doing a great job. But I think the contributions of non-committers could make FreeBSD even better, and those contributions are being largely lost or ignored. Colin Percival
