            Bug ID: 194721
           Summary: PR documentation wrong says it's okay to submit PRs to
                    notify about newer versions in ports
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: marino at FreeBSD.org

The ports bugzilla policy is that PRs are not to be submitted to "helpfully"
tell maintainers and/or ports@ mailing list that new versions are available. 
Yet Kevin Thompson has notified me that the PR documentation says exactly the
opposite, and I confirmed it:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/problem-reports/pr-when.html

Chapter 2:
    Some cases where it may be appropriate to submit a problem report about
something that is not a bug are:
    * Notification of updates to externally maintained software (such as ports
or software in the contrib/ directory).


Please remove this line immediately.  It reflects exactly opposite of what is
acceptable for a ports PR.
