Let me pretend that I don't get it.  It is as much your code as it is mine if
you are a user of FreeBSD.  I just happen to have a commit bit at this point in
time.

There are about 5000 open PRs for FreeBSD base system, maybe more.
There are only a few dozens of active FreeBSD developers.  Maybe less for any
given particular point in time (as opposed to a period of time).
And dealing with PRs is not always exciting.
Need I continue?

P.S. Using GNATS for the PR database doesn't help either, in some technical 
ways.
