 * From: Jeremy Lea <reg@shale.csir.co.za>

 * I don't want to question anyone's capabilites, but there have been many
 * new committers added who I've never heard of before, and I read way too
 * much FreeBSD mail...  Up till a few months ago you really had to earn
 * your stripes, by either submitting stuff to maintainers or through
 * send-pr, and in that process you learnt the CVS tree rules, the Ports
 * tree rules, and how to behave on the mailing lists.  Now it seems that
 * you only need to raise your hand.  I know it's over used, but while
 * "many hands make light work", "too many cooks spoil the broth".

Actually, this is still a rule for the ports committers (since that's
exactly the criteria I use when judging new ports committers
proposals).

As I said before, the current case (Marcel) sort of slipped through
since he wasn't proposed as a ports committer.
