antranigv, markj | PR not submitted yet, just run dtrace -c and see many include |
| imp, dfr, cperciva | 32 on 64 issues, update very old qemu-bsd-user-static port. No longer relevant for release engineering once STA work is done. | |
| cperciva, imp | ||
| bsd-user + poudriere support for RISCV | imp, mhorne, jrtc27 | Package building totally broken, but basic stuff works, needs work so we can have riscv pacakges again |
