That is sufficient to approve it, if it's easy to spot that
you are the committer, that means if the value of the MAINTAINER
field in the Makefile matches the mail address that "approved" in the PR.

Next step would be to tack the PR to an committer willing to commit it 8-)

A short mail to ports@ with "can some committer please commit PR ..." is
one way to find one. It might get noisy in the future 8-}
