I would like to submit a new port which "RUN_DEPENDS" another port; the latter did not exist in the tree, so I submitted it (ports/123382) on May 4. I fully appreciate the committers' various responsibilities and time constraints, so this is not a 'hey, what's taking you so long' query. Since this was my first submission, I am just trying to get a sense of proper etiquette. Is it bad form to email the committer who took responsibility of the PR asking whether I've made a glaring mistake which would be fixable via a follow-up? Or should I simply wait for a "feedback" request if that were the case?
Submit the second port and include a note that it depends on a port you recently submitted. Cite the PR number and point out that the port you are submitting should not be committed until the first port is.
