In no particular order:
- Use whichever bug reporting system you are more comfortable with. The aim is to make it as easy as possible for users to contribute bug reports, and we'll figure it out from there.
- There are no indicators as to which system is more popular amongst developers. Personally I hate GNATS, other developers hate GitHub, the only important thing is that we get bug reports.
- Please don't replicate bugs across systems.
- We have no interest in pointless bug statistics, so yes we're happy for bugs to stay open for as long as possible (within reason, obviously we'll occasionally close out issues if they refer to packages that were upgraded 15 years ago or are for OS that are no longer available).
- Use the mailing lists for queries of a more technical nature, tech-pkg for packaging and infrastructure questions, pkgsrc-users for anything related to use of the packages themselves.
- I'd recommend using IRC (Libera #pkgsrc) or Matrix for general queries and help with working on things yourself, it's thousands of times easier to work through these things in real time rather than the delayed back-and-forth of email or issues.
- It's an entirely volunteer project, there are no teams or dedicated people for anything. Volunteers work on things as and when they are interested in doing so. We love it when new people come onboard to help out, and so I'd much rather help someone get up to speed on pkgsrc so they can fix things themselves instead of me having to do it for them.
As for http://gnats.netbsd.org/56611, I think that was fixed recently, you should try with a newer checkout.

Thanks for the very detailed answer, Jonathan!
You went straight through all my concerns.
It's probably nicest and most human answer I have received during last 10y, really. Very nice, thank you:)
