I apologize, due to some ages old filter (leftover from the time when I 
was on portmgr) the messages went into the wrong folder, which I don't 
check. Now I see them.

Regarding the commits in question: are there any technical problems with 
my changes? If my memory serves in the past there were general agreement 
that maintainer's approval is good, but is not strictly required for the 
cases when the change is obvious. Unfortunately I don't have much spare 
time in my hands nowadays so that need to send e-mail for each of those 
small fixes could be a showstopper for me and result in them staying in 
my private tree. That being said, I don't ask to make an exception for 
me based on that and if you say that the policy now is that maintainer 
approval is strictly required I will adhere.

Another generic note from my experience with other open source projects, 
is that usually ones with not-so-strict approval rules tend to make much 
faster progress.
