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@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@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.
