As far as I can tell, you have submitted 3 PRs. Two of your suggestions have been incorporated into FreeBSD, the other one is still new. % query-pr -O paetzel --summary 28970 freebsd- docs closed non-criti low current-us Handbook fix for section 4.3.1 60370 ale docs closed non-criti low current-us [patch] Clarification of textproc/docproj* ports in fdp-primer 73760 freebsd- docs open non-criti low current-us [patch] 5.3-RELEASE and possibly older 5.x systems need 3 floppies to boot the installer You may have made suggestions in other ways, but submitting a PR is the best way to ensure that your ideas don't get forgotten about. > Just a recent example of this is docs/73760.
