    you're pointing at a problem and claiming that it's the cause of
    the problem. the huge number of unassigned port PRs is IMO result
    of FreeBSD having too few (active?) committers. the ports tree could
    use a lot more autonomous maintainers who don't have to beg or wait
    for long periods of time to have updates to their ports committed.

    don't the FreeBSD hacks to cvs(1) allow for ACL granularity to the
    directory level? (e. g. Alex Dupre could have commit in
    /usr/ports/databases/mysql[[:digit:]]+-(server|client))
