Timur I. Bakeyev has been helping out on our dear ports tree for some time, especially maintaining samba. Now he will be set loose in cvs, with a little help from shaun. Have a lot of fun!

Yet another one that fell for the classic mistake of sending too may good patches, Beech Rintoul has been punished by sat with a port commit bit. Enjoy!

Another day, another two committers. I’m happy to see another committer with an interest in java, we could use some help there. So please welcome Tong LIU, with Xin LI as his mentor. Marcelo Araujo made the classic mistake of sending too many PRs with updates and fixes, and will now have to do his work himself, with Stanislav Sedov as a mentor.

A warm welcome to both!

Please welcome Edward Tomasz Napierala to the ranks of the ports committers, as happened so many times before, he sent too many PRs and is duely being punished. Why do people never learn? Good luck!

It’s always nice to save some of the good things in life, so it adds up. Two more people have made it to the ranks of the ports committers in the last few weeks. Li-Wen Hsu, mentored by clsung, and Martin Matuska, mentored by garga, have both received the usual punishment after sending too many PRs. Welcome aboard to you both!

Diane has been a long time contributor, mainly to the hamradio ports, and finally ehaupt offered to mentor her and give her a well-deserved commit bit. Welcome Diane!

Just in time to have their commit bits gift wrapped for Christmas, Juergen Lock and Dryice Liu have joined the ranks of the ports committers after way too many PRs. Merry Christmas and happy committing to both of them!

Gábor has been working for some time on our ports collection, especially working on the ports infrastructure during his Google Summer of Code project this summer.  His biggest mistake was to keep working and lately has been cleaning up a lot in old and abandoned projects to deprecate those ports so that they can either get the attention they need from a new maintainer that can find where the project has moved, or be removed from the ports tree.  All his work has now been punished with a ports commit bit and to make matters worse, I’m his mentor.  He’ll need all the luck he can get!

Another long-time contributor bites the dust. Thanks to his involvement with various Python, web, and math related ports, we have decided to punish him in the usual manner. He will be co-mentored by alexbl and clsung.

When do people learn not to send too many PRs? David Thiel made the classic mistake and received his usual punishment applied by Edwin, who will mentor him. Wish him luck!
