Absolutely. Any new submissions (certainly now, considering the new
format has been around for "a while") in the old format are going to get
summarily ignored (at least by me).

*sigh* Port updates should:
(a) be done as a patch, using diff(1), not a {sh,t}arball
(b) have at least a vague attempt to mention the name of
the port in the Subject/Synopsis field
If you have any doubts, please refer to the Porting Handbook,
(a) in particular seems to be being ignored/forgotten way too often
these days. Perhaps summarily closing such PRs may help.
PRs that follow the Porting Handbook are *much* more likely to
get committed in a timely manner. Help us to help you.
