One step was to approve your request for commit access, for which you should have gotten a separate mail. :-) I think it is important to find a way of working which would work best for the involved developers. For example, you could open your own branch of the ports tree where updates to science ports are being prepared and tested and later merged back into the main ports tree. Your next steps really depend how you want to work, or rather you have to find a workflow which works for you and other contributors. I would recommend to start with a wiki page and document your goals and how you want to achieve them. Gather other developers to join your efforts and then discuss with them. So, everyone interested into science related software being available as ports should get in contact with James now!
