To be fair, 20+ were opened in the last 3 days, and some are already pending or closed (thanks!). But I agree that having some patches sleeping during months (or years) isn't that funny for porters... > Perhaps we can recommend marking bugs as -patch if the patch is no > good?

As a first guess, one could use “patch moreinfo” to ask for help or peer review, though asking the porter/patch submitter for explanations, and eventually the -bsd list, should be sufficient. But I agree that there might be better semantics (set of) (user)tags. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
