  Where to send the bugs (e.g. porters faults, not authors) in binary 
packages? [EMAIL PROTECTED] seems to be source-ports only 
maillist.

Binary packages are built from sources, right?  The way binary packages 
get fixed involves changing the sources and rebuilding the package...

In other words, reporting problems with packages to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is helpful.  CC'ing the maintainer is 
generally also helpful.

First talk to the port maintainer.  If you don't hear anything from
them, then submit a PR in the usual way.  Of course, you should
include as much information as possible about the nature of the
problem, and preferably include a fix if you have one.
