I don't remember exactly but I guess yes, you would need to be added as a
collaborator to start contributing to the repository.

In the meantime, feel free to push your code to your local repository.

in that case do i have to make a new account or what?

No, you just add the macports email id to your existing
github profile (See Links:[6] at the end).

You would also want to update your git config (you could use --local
to keep the config local to the directory that you are working on)
to use your macports id though.

See: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/WorkingWithGit#setup

There should be some way that you can create tables/schema
using markdown. But feel free to use whatever works better for you.

To know more about unit tests in brief I found a brief answer on SO [1].
You can
find a detailed article on Tutorials point [4] and wikipedia [5].

It would help to come up with a simple design on what the API would do.
This would
help you during the coding phase. We can always refine it as we progress.

7) Discuss about what commit needs to be shown on the port page.

As discussed, we could keep this topic for discussion at a later point of

Thanks for documenting the points discussed. I have added some of my
thoughts inline.

I was talking about something like [2]. To get more idea about milestones,
you can refer [3].
