I don't think you understand how the ports system works. Each port has its own maintainer. There's no single ports maintainer. The person you might be thinking of is Satoshi Asami, who's the overall ports manager and oversees the ports system mechanism itself. he doesn't make the call to import individual ports. If you've created a port that you'd like incorporated, submit it as per the guidelines in the porter's guide and wait for one of the prots committers to import it into the ports tree. Ciao, Sheldon.
