Re: Help needed on a possible multiple ports maintainer reset

Hello Fernando!

Thanks for your great help.

I did put submitter as maintainer on PR 257991
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257991>, hope I did it
right :)

If I had the time I will check all ports from Cory and do a reset like,
e.g., https://reviews.freebsd.org/R11:707989ed0f7c if timeout is proved.

Thanks very much,

Nuno Teixeira
