The problem is that there is a small number of people actively
following new submissions. So if you don't see any response, the best
thing to do is to drop an email on the mailing list (which is exactly
what you did now).

There is long_description in the Portfile and there is an extensive
description on homepage (https://github.com/StackExchange/blackbox).
But true, the description of the field could at least repeat what's in
long_description. (However I don't believe that this would make the
process much faster if there is no person with commit rights and
sufficient time and interest to review the submission checking the
ticket submissions.)
