This is the misc list, not the ports list.  They are different.  And
if you looked at those mails, you would see that they had ports
attached, not links to openbsd distributions including the port.

If you make a port of something new, you mail it to ports with a
subject of NEW.  If you update a port, you use a subject of UPDATED.
In either case, a port or diff should be attached.

If it's not a port and there's no attachment, then you are correct, it
doesn't belong on ports either.
