Sorry, but it's high level crap to discuss here stuff like Approved

or just pav, "via" kris or just kris. Andrew, I'm just repeating,
these are crap comments and they shouldn't belong to
ports-committers list.
Andrew is being perhaps overly pedantic here, but he's right in
principal. Consistency and standard conformance even in format of
"Foobared by:" entries doesn't lower quality of our ports, does it?
Yeah, rules, policies and consistency are the things, which makes things
keep going frictionless.
As for the mailing-list, I think ports-committers is
the most appropriate one because this is primarily an
inter-committer process.
You can't even really imagine how many users read ports-committers
list just to know the changes in the ports tree. They're not
interested in the above notes. So, please respect our users as well
and don't think only about committers guys.
Kirill, those non-committers who read ports-committers@ are very likely
to consider being a submitter (or even committer!) in the future. In
this case I find it useful if they learn most common mistakes *before*
they start making them themselves. This is one of rare cases when one
can learn on others' mistakes as well (i.e., good) as on their own.
There are no non-committers reading ports-committers. The
ports-committers list is a private list for those ones, who are in
CVSROOT/access for the ports repo. Similarly doc-committers and
src-committers serve in the same way but for the doc and src repos.
I agree that all of us should learn from each other, thus the comments
are useful and valuable. Even if one is not interested in the reaction
for one's commit, one is responsible for the quality of one's work. It
is not a rude criticism, just a helpful hand to make things better here,
thus it should be interpreted in this way.
Cheers,
