The issue isn't about "not liking" -- it's more of a question of trust. We're asking our users to trust that the ports come from known places and have been through at least some kind of QA. To do that, we've set up a minimum threshhold to get commit access (a track record with filed PRs; some demonstrated ability to work with user questions; and so forth). It's actually not that difficult, in general, to wind up with a ports commit bit. mcl
