The thing is that if you want some new ports included in the tree, you should better go out, create the infrastructure yourself, and then sendpr it. This way you surely would have someone out there testing your new port(s), and giving suggestions as to how to improve it. FreeBSD is an opensource project, and while everybody working on it is open to suggestions, nobody can assure you a work would be done of it, since nobody is going to be paid for it. Just to put it down clear, get the software, create the port, and then use sendpr to search for a committer to include it in the tree.
