That is, are : the general committers not allowed to commit to ports ? Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: If you know what you are doing, and do it right all the time, then it is OK. When in doubt, ask. It is better if you haven't committed before to the ports tree to find a mentor there and have them help you work your way through the maze of rules, some of which may not be documented yet, into getting your port into the tree. These guidelines are intended to be just that. Guidelines. They aren't intended to be an axe with which you cut other committers into tiny bits with. After all, the basic tenants of this project is that things are built on mutual respect.
