As this is open-source/free-software work there's rarely anything written down. My understanding of a port maintainer (for us at least) would be someone who can commit to being around on-channel at least a bit; is competent in the use of, and development of, applications on their target system, can respond in a timely fashion to tickets, ideally within a few days even if only to say thanks, I need to think about this; and will jump on front-end failures evident in the CI system within a day or two at most. Ideally they'd also be interested in learning about and assisting with the core of the NetSurf codebase, and also our libraries; since all ports rely on those to a greater or lesser extent. > http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2266 > http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2170 > http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2336 > http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2289 Thank you.

Indeed, reviews are helpful; though since we have post-commit CI, we do tend to notice obvious errors pretty quickly :-) D. -- Daniel Silverstone http://www.netsurf-browser.org/ PGP mail accepted and encouraged.
