I won't address every single point and just say that it might be interpreted as finger-pointing, but I'm actually curious about what's the state of the project, how it got where it is, where is it going, should I build always from source, should I use another package manager or complement it with another one, etc. And all these I seem to learn only in the mailing list, which might be annoying, I admit.

It means that ports I submitted like stem and ipfs are not further reviewed, so new portfiles I write I just keep in my local repo and don't bother submitting.
