pkgsrc-wip committers are not responsible for GNATS.  Stop trying to imply
offloading responsibility in this way.

pkgsrc-wip is a working tree for contributors to use *directly*, period.

Oh, I'm sorry we can't accommodate you with our limited resources.  You have
the power to make your new package submissions more available and likely to
be pulled into main pkgsrc, and you've seen testimonials from contributors
who have exercised that power.

You're just refusing to use it yourself, naysaying the concept without
trying it (how hypocritical!), and trying to point the finger in every
direction you can to say "it's *his* fault!"  No, dear, it's your fault for
not trying out pkgsrc-wip as many have asked you to do already.

So we'll get to your PRs when we have the time available.  Until then, I
suppose they'll just sit there, statically, doing nothing.  That's the best
we can do for you at this time.  "Sorry!"
