Dan, I think a lot of people tend to use the 'one-two punch' of both PR and mailing list. Mailing list to flesh it out and discuss the idea, and the PR when it's ready to go in. I've done a very cursory review of your patch, and it looks pretty good. Unfortunately, my time is booked for more projects than I really have time for, so I'd be unable to test it. If you submit it as a PR in bugzilla, at the very least the patch won't get lost when someone else comes looking for the feature, and more likely it'll get picked up by someone rather quickly or in the next triage phase (some people like to do bug triaging periodically, where things like this get their basic testing and commit). When you said it's not a patch for an issue/bug/etc, one could say the bug is that the patch isn't already in the tree :) . - Justin _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
