Until at least a few months ago FreeBSD bugzilla behaved as following when bug report about individual ports (i.e. "Products" is "Ports&Packages" and "Component" is "Individual Port(s)") was submitted: 1. maintainer-feedback flag is set unless maintainer is "ports@FreeBSD.org". 2. If maintainer is "someone@FreeBSD.org" other than "ports@FreBSD.org", "Assignee" is set to him. But recently I submitted some bug reports and found that FreeBSD bugzilla didn't always behave as above. For example when I submitted following bug reports, it worked just as is explained. * Bug #224152 * Bug #224327 * Bug #224349 * Bug #224356 * Bug #224477 * Bug #224478 But when I submitted following bug reports, it didn't set maintainer-feedback flag. * Bug #224239 * Bug #224429 So it seems that maintainer-feedback flag is not set if maintainer isn't "someone@FreeBSD.org".
This is not related to maintainer email. Looks like there is some kind of either floating bug or host system issue that make port directory existence check fail. There are ~30 "Port directory ... not found" messages for valid directories in error log per month. I added some debug and will monitor logs to narrow down possible reasons.

Recently FreeBSD bugzilla seems to work fine. So I close this bug report now.
