The repo is read-only, but technically it would be very similar to the PR. There is no conclusive way, I prefer PRs. > Who typically reviews and merges new ports? 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. > If a new port PR remains unreviewed, what is the recommended way to follow up? Posting on ports@ with the PR and asking for someone to work on it. -- [email protected] +49 171 3101372 Now what ?
