Don't worry too much about any 'newbie status'. Start with just a few updates or pr's to get your feet wet. I am sure that someone would notice a subject line of 're: ports/7500 - tested, please commit'. Messages about old pr's will probably get someone's attention right? Once you do a few of these someone will probably start thinking of you as a 'trusted user' more than a newbie and the process will start moving along faster. One thing though. Would something like this, posting that a patch or update in an old pr works, be benificial or would it just flood the ports list with 'it works, so commit it already!' type messages?
