This is going to be tricky :-) The way I would do it is to submit the ports one by one and keep the synopsis recognizable: [NEW PORT] Apple WebObjects Deployment Environment: www/foobar That way it will be easy for the person who will take care of them to find them all, and can respond to problems of them individually. Once all your PRs have gone through and you have the numbers, send another PR which describes the order of all PRs and the possible ceavats and other issues which might happen during the processing of the PRs. Or, if you have spare time and a network connection (I think that the last pre-requisite is pretty dumb :-) drop by on #bsdcode at irc.efnet.org and ask if somebody wants to help you getting these PRs done.
