--- Comment #7 from Jan Beich <jbeich@FreeBSD.org> ---
Without a committer even approved patches can still end up in limbo. This is
what Assignee is for (their homework) and set based on MAINTAINER field.
According to https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Team or
https://reviews.freebsd.org/project/members/19/ there're many ports/ commit=
ters
who can land x11@ patches submitted by others.

One solution is to ask portmgr@ for a ports/ bit. See
https://www.freebsd.org/internal/new-account/ but self-propose then query
potential mentors or wait for portmgr@ to find them. x11@ gains a ports/
committer that's not yet busy while the mentee gains guaranteed review.
Disclaimer: I'm *not* proposing to mentor anyone and don't want to be in a
crossfire.
