Comment (by ryandesign):

 Often adding a separate port for a dependency is simpler and more
 desirable. (MacPorts does not easily accommodate a single port needing to
 run multiple different configure scripts and multiple different `make`
 sessions, for example.) There is no approval process as such; just submit
 a pull request for the new port. It will be reviewed for any possible
 needed changes before being merged.

 On the other hand, the quickjs web site says it is "small and embeddable".
 If edbrowse has chosen to embed quickjs, i.e. if a copy of quickjs is
 bundled with edbrowse and the edbrowse build system automatically builds
 the bundled quickjs with the same cflags/cxxflags/ldflags used to build
 edbrowse and edbrowse links with it as a static library, then there's no
 harm having the edbrowse port do it that way.
