I apologize for that failure to get those ports committed. But I'm  
not sure what alternative to this method I can offer. We cannot grant  
commit access to just anybody. We must first be convinced that a  
person's contributions are good and correct and follow the guidelines  
that have been set up. I'm sure you can appreciate this, since even  
though you have been granted commit access already, you're still  
getting feedback about your commits on better ways some things can be  
done.

To others who are not committers yet: If tickets you file do not get  
addressed in a timely manner, please notify the macports-dev list.  
It's easy for tickets to not get noticed, or to be forgotten.
