I do not understand what you mean by "state of the project". These are
questions that most users just do not seem to consider at all.

As said before, if you think information that is only on the mailing
list should be elsewhere, please make it available. Publish it in
whatever form you think would be appropriate.

There are more than 400 pending submissions for new ports on Trac, all
being in various states. If your submission does not make progress,
please ask on macports-dev@ for a review with links to the corresponding
tickets.

You might also want to consider submitting them as pull requests,
because Perry Metzger is going to make sure no pull request will be
forgotten. :-)
