Ah, this'll be a spur to action for me.

A couple of years ago, I acquired the handle ianeiloart at macports.org 
However, I was never able to get logged in to trac. That problem seems to 
have gone away. I've also noticed that there is no longer a maintainer for 
the "exim" port, which is my main interest.

Does having the handle mean that I have commit rights?

Is there a beginners guide to making a commit for a single portfile?

If that last question doesn't scare anyone, can I become maintainer of the 
mail/exim and mail/mailman ports, please? I'd also like to create ports for 
libspf2 and dkim libraries.
