One of the things that Kris and I try to do it to avoid removing ports that have PRs filed against them (I think I missed, once, though). My preference would be that you go ahead and submit a PR but put in the body that the other PR needs to be committed first. My goal in instituting a procedure for ports removals was not to add arbitrary hurdles to the port maintainers -- it was simply to have some kind of process to say "if no one is ever going to use/fix broken port XYZ again, let's get rid of it", so the ports collection stays as useful as possible. mcl
