            Bug ID: 214745
           Summary: x11/swarp port maintainership
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mason at blisses.org

I installed x11/swarp last night on a new install of FreeBSD 11, and I saw
this message:

    The swarp port currently does not have a maintainer. As a result, it is
    more likely to have unresolved issues, not be up-to-date, or even be
    removed in the future. To volunteer to maintain this port, please create
    an issue at:

        https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla

With this in mind, I'd like to volunteer to maintain it, and potentially other
suckless.org ports if they end up needing a maintainer. I've been wanting to
contribute code to FreeBSD and this seems like a good way to start. I've been
slowly reading through the latest daemon book, and lately I've been spinning
up more FreeBSD instances and hardware.

I already do a tiny bit of stuff on the wiki, and I suspect that Kubilay Kocak
would vouch for me. Deb Goodkin from the Foundation might also vouch for my
character.

I've got a modicum of software engineering experience, having had a couple
pure development jobs in my career, and FreeBSD is one of my primary platforms
at present.

If I could request a particular address, I'd like to be mason at freebsd.org. I
can be reached at mason at blisses.org to coordinate things.

Thanks!
