You know, one thing that has to be kind of discouraging is the number of
pending port changes.  There are over 250 new ports waiting committment, dating
back as far as August 9th of last year.  And nearly 30 updated ports, just
sitting there, some of them for months.

Now, I don't know if all these are valid.  Some of them might be duplicate
efforts, others might not be good ports, and so on, but there's got to be a way
to get a better review process on these.

Perhaps another CVS tree (/usr/testports?), where non-committers can test the
submitted ports and provide feedback?
