The problem isn't purely technical. The technical component is easily solved, but there are social and trust issues, and I'm not so sure if there is a middle layer. I think the underlying proposal might expedite the maintenance of a few individual ports in borderline cases, but this middle layer of contributors between submitters and committers is close enough to the committers so that I personally would see it as a needless additional abstraction that just complicates matters for little gain. And then there are issues that aren't bit-sized, but larger, hence they end up in abandoned or formally suspended PRs that contribute to the backlog. Expediting throughput of a few ports isn't going to help those at all, but they form the backlog... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlAIhFQACgkQvmGDOQUufZWmHwCfapbIdd0kpa6GZ7xnxV+f8gHj 9u4AnjEZV/yExbJILhnro3z8V0xnFPY0 =d29M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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"
