Hi!

This is not directed personally to Bill Fenner.

I did a fix of xblackjack-2.2 (see PS ports/44768), but nothing
have happened, and it did show up in the latest...

It seems that there are too few committers and too much to commit,
and hence I'm offering my time to help you. I would like to have
an mentor to help me out in the beginning, so if anyone in the
FreeBSD Project is up for it, please send me a mail. It would be
a great honour to be a part of it all!

As for now, if people spend time doing fixes for ports, and they
never get committed, people will eventually give up. I think it
would be a great loss for the project! Myself would put more time
to get those ports fixed if I would know they were committed. I
know the committers do not have infinite time at their hands to
test and committ all the PS's. They're studying, working, and
hopefully having a life that do not include computers. :-) They're
doing a great work as it is today, but there are too much to commit,
so therefore I would like to help you all out.

> Thanks for your help!

You're welcome! :-)

Best regards,
Paul
