Another thing that I believe would help: Voting on PRs. Currently a maintainer has no idea if a PR is due to one guy's flakey hardware or if 50 people have had the same problem and are waiting for a fix. For each major problem report, there are probably many people who tried FreeBSD on particular hardware and just silently gave up when it failed. Ability to "vote up" on a PR on the freebsd website would give maintainers a tool to see which PRs are affecting the userbase. - Andrew
