For the moment, I will just propose fixes via merge requests as I go on, and try to split things and explain them so that they do not require a huge amount of wondering for the ones who have to accept them, and as long as the current developers can "purge" the stack from time to time, it's perfectly OK for me. -- Thierry Laronde http://www.kergis.com/ http://kertex.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C

I'm just wondering the same. There're way over 100 open PRs, many older ones (many needing rebase), so seems they get rarely noticed. Maybe add automatic some PR notification to the maillist ? --mtx -- --- Hinweis: unverschlüsselte E-Mails können leicht abgehört und manipuliert werden !

merge requests and the mailing list
I have asked for a merge request for libXau. I will very probably make other suggestions for other Xorg packages as I go on with the work I'm doing around NetBSD. Are the merge requests triggering some note for developers (so the merge request is sufficient per se), or do we need to drop on note on the list to inform that we have something pending? -- Thierry Laronde http://www.kergis.com/ http://kertex.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
