Hi Blair, If Maintainers think so, that's fine with me. I just guessed 72 hours are not practical to accept for maintainers. On 2/16/08, Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com> wrote:

Hi,
MacPorts Guide says
"The maintainer should apply the patches and close the ticket within 72 hours." "If the maintainer does not respond within 72 hours, you or another committer may review the patches and update the port."
But actually this is not always the case. So I started to consider 72 hours restriction is not realistic so this part of guideline should be modified to be more practical.
Any comments?
Depends upon what side of the coin you are on. Sometimes I want to get a fix in for another port and waiting 3 days seems like forever. Other times I miss an email for an update on my port, but I don't typically mind somebody else fixing it. I can always change the fix after it goes in and increment the revision.
So three days seems like a reasonable middle-ground.
