Gosh, there is a lot of packages not maintained !
It could be interesting to launch a call for maintainers on the blog ?
Hmmm - I'm a maintainer of three ports - and waiting since one to three weeks for commitments ...
If this happens to new maintainers - think they will not be maintainers for very long
I would encourage you, and anybody else who is a maintainer and who would like to be able to do their own commits, to simply apply for committer status. We are not particularly selective about giving out commit bits, as long as the individual has shown that they can maintain ports in a trustworthy fashion.
O.K. - I've thought about it today - and wrote the mail a few minutes ago ;) But it seems that we need more committers before asking on the website - if we get mainatiners for a quarter of the ports there will be much work (if my case with the one to three weeks was not a single case) ;)
