Hi everyone, Happy Holidays!
I have a question about how best to deal with submitting a port update
to an existing maintainer, in the new Git setup.
The port in question is "libvirt", which has Ryan as maintainer, but
also has openmaintainer listed. I would like to know the best way of
submitting an updated Portfile, while also notifying the maintainer.
I thought of four different options. I say "the maintainer" instead of
"Ryan" because I'm trying to think of an option would work for as many
cases as possible.
1. I could email the maintainer directly, but that seems too "closed" to
me.
2. I could put in a Trac ticket, but is that the best way for the
future?
3. I could open the Pull request on Github, but I don't know if I have
access to notify the maintainer directly. It's probably possible, but
would that work for every other maintainer?
4. I could open a Pull request on Github, and then email the maintainer
separately, but the maintainer might get mad that I didn't use Trac.
I was thinking of going with #2 or #4.
All advice is welcome!
