Not really, no. Mailing list archive + CVS repo are the best we have
right now. It's not that no one wants this to change, but the change
itself requires a lot of work.

Really long, slightly ongoing, thread on how we could improve this, from
misc@: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=149789110906191&w=2

(That thread starts as being about bugs@ but ports is mentioned
somewhere in there, and the same concepts and concerns apply.)

The jasperla GitHub repo is convenient and nice for communicating
whether someone is working on a difficult port, but it is not a source
of truth.

Note that I am just an observer (and port maintainer).
