For people who haven't seen the announcement: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.sgml.diff?r1=1.346&r2=1.347 If the maintainer of a port does not respond to an update request from a user after two weeks (excluding major public holidays), then that is considered a maintainer timeout, and the update may be made without explicit maintainer approval. If the maintainer does not respond within three months, then that maintainer is considered absent without leave, and can be replaced as the maintainer of the particular port in question. Exceptions to this are anything maintained by the &a.portmgr;, or the &a.security-officer;. No unauthorized commits may ever be made to ports maintained by those groups. The &a.portmgr; reserves the right to revoke or override anyone's maintainership for any reason, and the &a.security-officer; reserves the right to revoke or override maintainership for security reasons. Thanks to sheepkill@irc for the pointer. Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.mavetju.org edwin@mavetju.org | Weblog: http://weblog.barnet.com.au/edwin/
