Another thing that I believe would help: Voting on PRs.

Currently a maintainer has no idea if a PR is due to one guy's flakey hardware or if 50 people have had the same problem and are waiting for a fix.

For each major problem report, there are probably many people who tried FreeBSD on particular hardware and just silently gave up when it failed.

You might even find that people don't even know what a PR is or how to report it. Maybe a dialog during the install telling people about the PR system might be helpful.


Ability to "vote up" on a PR on the freebsd website would give maintainers a tool to see which PRs are affecting the userbase.
