I assumed it was because you don’t want to get email.
It was because I didn't want to jump through hoops for sending one, singular email.
Committers must explicitly subscribe to macports-tickets. Some choose not to do so because it’s relatively high-volume. Unfortunately, the few of us who do subscribe sometimes overlook tickets.
I'm not a comitter. Even for the tmux port I've been maintaining for a few years I do not have commit rights. I know, with svn it's a bit a pain in the neck to grant access permissions to certain project repos (I don't even know, if that's possible). I haven't touched cvs/svn since git came along.
This restriction is in place to mitigate spam.
This I do understand, but there are so many projects that '''require''' you to subscribe to mailing lists that I developed an unhealthy hate for such a requirement. Especially, if I don't want to be part of a discussion, but only inform someone of something. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51414#comment:10> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
