To make it clear, it's perfectly OK if unexperienced users request new
ports. This may count as such a request. But there's a much higher
probability that any package/port will end up in MacPorts if you try
to write it yourself and ask for assistance while doing so. IRC might
be slightly more efficient for communication, but macports-development
list should work as well.
The sources for HomeBrew are probably here:
