This is fine.

The repo is read-only, but technically it would be very similar
to the PR. There is no conclusive way, I prefer PRs.

The port committers who find time to work on the incoming queue.

> Is a MAINTAINER required at submission time?

Yes. You should be the maintainer, if you submit the new port.

Posting on ports@ with the PR and asking for someone to work on it.
