You need slightly better synopsis lines: Synopsis: port is outdated Synopsis: port submission (Perl5 module) Synopsis: port submission (Perl5 module) You're not mentioning what port is outdated or which ports you're submitting. Often useful information is the new version you're updating too, or the version of the new port. If you're the maintainer of the outdated port, that's useful to mention too. Also, a week is pretty short - people have life things to do, other interests in the system, their own ports, documentation, and so forth to deal with. When they look at the tasklist, they want to see lots of information that'll entice them into doing that particular bit of ports work. Once they look at the port, they have to test it, and make sure it does things correctly, and only then can they work on it.
