Ah, yes; sorry, I missed that. Actually, that might indicate the need for some mechanism to contact ports maintainers. ports@freebsd.org is a bit much volume for someone maintaining just a single port (like me), yet it would be very useful to obtain important infos like freeze dates, general changes, etc. How about adding a lower-volume ports-maintainers (or similiar) list which is automatically created from the MAINTAINER fields in the Makefiles and where such announcements are sent?
