This is an open-source project; patches speak louder than words. There is a process outlined in the porters' handbook (that I've pointed you at before) for getting ports system rejigs to even be considered. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-categories.html#PROPOSING-CATEGORIES (Given the ability of existing tools to search for ports in "half-assed" virtual categories, I think you overstate your case.)
