I can share some frustration. About a year ago, I made a port for erlang
(the "current" port just doesn't work at all, and it's ancient anyway,
so *anything* is better than the in-tree port). IIRC got feedback by one
other person that it basically works. Nothing got committed, I didn't
have the energy to follow on upon it. A few months later, someone asked
about erlang, I answered and mailed the port of last summer, then IIRC
that someone made an updated port (a newer Erlang release was out, and
a few changes in the ports infrastructure) and submitted it. Again,
nothing got committed, even though just *anything* would be better than
the in-tree port.

Kind regards,

Hannah.
