You think the fixes are reasonable; the opinion of others may differ.
Also, this information is already easily accessible to all via
www.netbsd.org; reposting it to current-users is simply redundant and
a waste of time.

If you have a fix for an open PR that lacks one, post your fix to
netbsd-bugs.  Be sure to reference the PR number in your message.
If you CC the message to gnats-bugs@gnats.netbsd.org and set the
Subject: header to "Re: FOO" where FOO is the contents of the Subject:
header in the original PR as posted to current-users, then your
message should also be appended to the PR in the GNATS database.
(Note: I'm not entirely sure about that last bit, verify that your
first attempt works before trying any more.)

If you repost all those PRs it'll take me a lot more time to read
current-users, and that's time I can't spend fixing PRs.
