Hi,

Here's a quick reminder about submitting patches upstream. For many of you it's
already a part of your workflow, but too often ports/patches get committed still
without a comment in the patch or without the patches submitted to upstream.

So please spend a few extra minutes to submit your patches upstream and include
a link to the bugzilla/jira/gh issue tracker in your patch. This way you, or the
next person working on the port, knows where the patch comes from, without 
having
to search all over the place. Having a patch incorporated upstream will save
time the next time you update...less patches to merge.
A patch-less port is a happy port!

And yes, upstream can be stubborn about "why does OpenBSD do it this way?" or
"it works on Linux, so fix your system instead", but more often they're far from
reluctant to apply the patches.

Cheers,
Jasper
