No. I would volunteer as maintainer as it isn't too far removed from my day job to handle something like this. :) On a simple level, it could just be a tree with copies of updated ports with patches that people could cvsup from a given site. What other features would people want from such a service? Though I suppose cvsup'ing the ports tree on a regular basis would accomplish the same thing, it might be nice to do it on a security specific basis. A vulnerability in zlib suggests that it would be worth having a specific method for users to update all ports that use zlib, no?
