Yes, I know the reason. :-) It's because Andrew followed the
instructions I gave him to play by the "rules" we agreed on.

The idea was (if you recall) that noone but the port maintainers should
commit on the trunk.
Read more on: ..minnow down, can't remember the page...

To get something into the trunk the person responsible for the branch
(Andrew) needs to communicate with the port maintainer (Ian etc) and
tell him something like "Hey, Ian, my super-nifty-plugin can be merged
nto the trunk by typing xxxxx - will you do it?".

Perhaps I am dumb but why <insert strong word of choice here> do you
think I wrote down that darn guide?

I could of course do it, but I do not intend to turn into a CVS nanny
just because I wrote the guide about principles we all agreed on. IMHO
Andrew should have informed you about his stuff being ready for trunk
inclusion - and you, being the port maintainer, should do the deed.

If you want help though - of course, just say so.

won't fix. ;-)
