Note that the main current issue wrt OpenBSD ports is the chronical lack
of time to look at everything that gets submitted.
"perfect submissions" tend to get looked at more easily, but it is
frequent to have to nag a bit to get people to look at it, especially when
it is not the most used port in the world.
(I do follow the "okay required to new ports rule" and I have to nag to
get things in as well)
