I totaly agree with you... I had submitted a port and it was never commited in the tree... This was make me, at the begining an bit nervous, angry and now I don't care..

The only think I'd like to know as port submitter is : why on hell this that take 9 months to look at a port ? > Now, I don't know if all these are valid.
