There's no particular schedule for bringing in new ports -- it's all
just part of the same flow of updates, patches etc. etc.
If your submission is still languishing unattended after about 3 weeks,
then it has probably been overlooked, and it would not be amiss to send
a follow-up asking if there's a problem. Most ports PRs are dealt with
considerably faster than that, although the initial import of a new port
does take longer than a routine update to an existing port.
One important general point is that any one sending in PRs should supply
a working e-mail address in what they send -- if a port maintainer needs
to ask a question or for some other form of feedback, and their e-mail to
the PR originator bounces, then that PR is simply not going to get
processed.
Cheers,
Matthew
