What do the NetBSD Port Maintainers do?

The NetBSD port maintainers fix and improve the various ports of NetBSD. There is one port maintainer per type of machine that the NetBSD operating system supports. A port's maintainer is the final authority about changes being made to that port, and is responsible for attempting to fix problems with the port and for integrating improvements into the port in a timely manner. If a port doesn't have a maintainer, then we can't consider it ``supported.'' Being a port maintainer is hard work, but is crucial to the NetBSD Project's continued success.
