Updated Portfile merged 17 hours ago, still not distributed?

Hello, folks:
I submitted a PR <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28546>
recently, and it was merged into master 17 hours ago. I am a bit
surprised that when I do `sudo port selfupdate` on my local machine, I
still get the previous Portfile, not the one merged 17 hours ago. I
realise that distribution is not instantaneous, but I expected it to
take a few hours at most.
What delay should I expect between when an updated Portfile is merged
into the `master` branch of github.com/macports/macports-ports/, and
when I receive it via `sudo port selfupdate`?
The new Portfile has no `revision` keyword, so like the previous
Portfile it is implicitly revision 0. Does this make a difference?
(I did not increment the revision because the port did not build before,
in the presence of port gtk3 +quartz, though it did build in the
presence of port gtk3 -quartz +x11. Did I choose correctly?)
I benefit from all the work you all put into improving Portfiles, so I
am honoured to join your ranks. And maybe I'm a wee bit eager to benefit
from my own work :-).
Best regards,
