There's a wiki page which links to the team pages:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsTeams

x11@ probably counts as the Xorg team.

Well, we all hope that volunteers spring up and provide patches
for as many ports as possible from the list of unstaged ports:

http://people.freebsd.org/~bapt/notstaged.txt

If you a patch, please submit a PR and some committer tries to
work with you to get it in the ports tree.

Yes, we're backlogged/overworked, so the better the PR, the faster
it can be committed.
