Besides, lack of feedback is not meant ad personam. Even i, as a developer, am sitting on two ports right now that both myself and the maintainer consider ready for import (subsurface and libdivecomputer) and that have also been tested by a third user but that i can't import just yet because no other porter found the time yet to cross-check them and provide an OK. And it's not a good idea to import blindly and prematurely and cause havoc in bulk builds because that puts additional load on exactly the people who are already working hardest. If more people collect and demonstrate the experience to become developers working on ports, the situation may slowly improve over time by distributing the work of review, providing OKs, and importing on more shoulders, but as things stand right now, patience is definitely required. Yours, Ingo
