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.. I have made my parallel tree for it... And
I'm waiting... maybe for 10.0-RELEASE some of my ports maybe will be
integrated...

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 ?
