And this is why I think we should have a policy of not changing maintainer of things based upon mailing list traffic. I know I'm guilty of doing it in the past but I have come to the conclusion that it can cause these kinds of problems and set a precedent of people expecting mailing list traffic to result in commits. We should have an official record of who requested changes in the PR database and not give the community the idea that mailing list traffic asking for a commit to happen is the right way to do things. -- WXS _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
