    ... given there is a freeze for the ports tree scheduled friday, due to the upcoming 4.6 release.

    Imagine how many it could be if it wouldn't take so darn long until ports made by non-commiters make it in CVS. There are a lot of open "New Port:" pr's in GNATS, and I strongly doubt that they are all problematic in any way, problably nobody found the time to look at them in most cases. This is quite annoying, if you created a port and it sits there uncommited for months.

    However, congrats to all porters! Keep on the good work.
