Does anyone know who to report bugs in wide-dhcp? I've found a bug in
wide-dhcp ports the other day, and reported to ports at FreeBSD.org because
the Makefile says it's the maintainer of the port. However, I've received
no responses from anyone since then. Shortly after that, I realized that
the bug itself is in the original code rather than FreeBSD patches, so
I must have sent it to the original author, and that MIHIRA-san is not,
because I had no responses from him, even though I Cc:'d on him.
Then I found in one of installed documents that bug report should be
sent to dhcp-dist at wide.ad.jp . I did, and the mail server at wide.ad.jp
said there's no such account there.

Or, should I send-pr even if I'm sure the bug is in the orignal code
rather than in the FreeBSD ports? But I don't feel like using it because
I don't know(and not interested in) how to configure it use my mailer
instead of sendmail(1),

Regards.
