I've been through the Porters Handbook, and am embarking on updating an
existing port. The port in question is www/p5-AxKit, moving from 1.5 to
1.6.
I've contacted the maintainer, but haven't heard back yet.

I've got (apparently) working files, install, deinstall, etc, and a .diff
file.
Assuming I get to the point of submitting the changes, what are the
prevailing words of wisdom or gotchyas to watch our for?
While the Porters Handbook is pretty clear, the first time contributing is
still a little scary. I goal is to NOT waste committers time with silly
mistakes. :-)
Thanks for your time,
-=Chris
