The one ticket keeping track of all ports is fine, to my mind. That's what was done for the python PIL/Pillow change. Additionally, I fired off (automated) emails to all non-openmaintainer/nomaintainer port owners with a template describing what is to be done, replacing ##PORT## with the port name, attaching the diff and asking them to either apply the patch themselves (or use a better approach, if mine is faulty) or grant me permission to apply the patches myself. > Let alone the fact that > probably 90% of those requests wouldn't even be answered. In that case, 72 hours grant you the right to enforce maintainer timeout rules.
