This has been discussed before. The barrier to entry is currently set at the "seems to be willing to work on FreeBSD over a period of many months, and a fair number of PRs." The problem with lowering it is that the Ports Collection is complex; new committers need to e.g. understand how a single port commit might affect other ports (e.g. broken INDEX), among many other things. Again, it's not a new idea; it's just that we have decided not to do it. mcl _______________________________________________ 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"
