So true.

That's why I argued for bugzilla. IMHO it should be the definitive
answer/solution. If one is required to search for an open pr prior
to attempting to work on a port. This situation is less likely.
Having a commit bit makes it tempting to simply write the patch and
commit it. It's quicker and easier and you've already got a lot on
your plate. Which is what it seems happened to you with conky.
If *everyone* had to use bugzilla. I think it might make this situation
almost never happen. I'm not trying to beat anyone up here. Just
trying to find a solution for everyone. :)

Thanks Zsolt and best wishes!
