It depends, try to think what will be easier to review. If it's a couple of ports then it often makes sense to do them together. If it's many then split them up into manageable chunks, if there are related deps (conceptually similar, similar ports, or chains of a couple of ports which depend on each other) then it's usually good to send them together. The worst thing you can do is send a bunch of separate mails all at once with one port per mail, it is super hard to keep track of what's already handled and what needs doing, and if they are similar ports then feedbacj for one of them might result in needed changes to all of them. > is it common to get a mail when things are merged or just need to watch > updates when pulling the ports tree? Sometimes you will sometimes not. Depends who commits, how busy they are at the time, etc. Definitely check whether it was already committed before sending a 'ping' mail :)
