No policy that I know of. Since it's a volunteer effort, it's set up to accept contributions of work, not suggestions for work. You need to find someone to do the port. Asking on ports is a good place. Asking here isn't unreasonable. Since it's a KDE port, you might check other ports of KDE tools - especially things similar to what you've got in mind - via "make -V MAINTAINER" - and see if there's one person who stands out, then contact them directly. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
