I don't think it's politics, really. I mean, I'm sure that sometimes that comes into it, but in generally simpler than that: Different committers commit different areas of the code. Naturally, areas that affect all users (like libraries) will tend to have a larger number of people prepared to commit them, whereas as more specialized code (like the language-specific ports) will have fewer. Very few Americans or western Europeans, for example, can read Russian, and they aren't going to feel comfortable with committing a change that they couldn't test or perhaps even understand. > > All my PRs contain proper patch-files. > > Lev Serebryakov > /-----------------------------------------------\ > > | FIDONet: 2:5030/661.0 | > | E-Mail: lev@serebryakov.spb.ru | > | Page: http://lev.serebryakov.spb.ru/ | > | ICQ UIN: 3670018 | > | Phone: You know, if you have world nodelist | > > \===============================================/ > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message -- Brian T.
