Sorry if my mail was misinterpretable: I do not insist that Torsten
has to fix every single PR to become maintainer, far from it.

And I neither use portmaster nor synth in my setups, I use poudriere and
portupgrade, so I'm not really part of the debate.

Clearly, the documentation of the process in the handbook can be
improved, and if this involves some words on alternatives, its even
better.

Yes, I understand that. It was not my intention to put up undue hurdles.
