Q: How might you get more time to implement / import such ideas ?
A: Leave normal individual ports work to other ports maintainers. & ...
Q: How will other ports maintainers cope too ?
A: Reduce ports/ send-pr flow rate. Add this to send-pr:
---
Do not use send-pr for problems in 3rd party software please.
For bugs & fixes with generic 3rd party code (from distfiles/),
contact (from ports/.../.../Makefile ):
GENERIC_MAINTAINER="URL://....."
For FreeBSD specific bugs, try to fix first, if fixed use send-pr,
For FreeBSD specific bugs you can't fix, contact
MAINTAINER=
If the port has a problematic run time behaviour, ask to assert:
INSTALL_DEPRECATED="summary ... suspended send-pr number"

No sense FreeBSD accepting more send-pr than we can handle, (else
it could pressurise us to dump a port in desperation to reduce send-prs,

If we reduce the rate of ports/ send-prs, ports experts will
have more time to step back from the coal face, to study & import
more good ideas, whether from FreeBSD people, other BSD or Linux etc.
Cheers,
