I do not understand what you mean by "state of the project". These are<br>
questions that most users just do not seem to consider at all.<br>
<br>
As said before, if you think information that is only on the mailing<br>
list should be elsewhere, please make it available. Publish it in<br>
whatever form you think would be appropriate.<br>

There are more than 400 pending submissions for new ports on Trac, all<br>
being in various states. If your submission does not make progress,<br>
please ask on macports-dev@ for a review with links to the corresponding<br>
tickets.<br>
<br>
You might also want to consider submitting them as pull requests,<br>
because Perry Metzger is going to make sure no pull request will be<br>
forgotten. :-)<br>
