That's not a reason to back it out even if it really failed due to some 
mistake on my part. I made such mistakes before.

But this time, as I pointed out already, the failure is due to some 
firewall rule on the build cluster.

None of the thing Daniel pointed out caused the failure to build. It is 
a firewall rule. Setting DEVELOPER does not warn about it either.

It certainly is not "my own", but what's wrong with "adding things to 
see if they build"?

Would you mind pointing the rules and the bylaws, that you allege I 
violated? Are they spelled out somewhere? Nothing I'm able to find is 
worded anywhere as strongly as "must".

When a change has a potential to affect the work of others, I do that. 
See PR 276204 <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=276204> 
for the most recent example. But this was simply a new port. If it 
failed, no one is any worse off, than if it didn't exist at all. And 
yet, you're coming down on me like I ruined your day (or an even  longer 
time-period). Please, take care of your own demons privately. Thank you. 
Yours,
