4008 ports PR's have been submitted in the last year.
3656 ports PR's submitted in the last year have been closed.

IMHO, 3656 (91%) closed PR's != 'very few'

Please remember that this is a volunteer project; committers get around
to closing PR's when they get time.  In general, PR's usually for new
ports are taken care of within a week or to (or three or so...).  If a PR
for a new port is still open for over a month or so, it's probably not a
bad idea to inquire why (the port submission may have problems; or perhaps
no one has gotten around to committing it).
