The reason I suggested some of the things I have written but not made in= to ports yet is I wrote them on FreeBSD so there is little or no programmin= g required to make them work as port (if there is then I did my job wrong)= and thus you can learn porting from the ground up and then move to harder = things that require programming 2. Being a committer is mostly being trusted by other committers to not things up when you put it in the master repository. Mostly this come= s from maintaining a lot of ports and showing superior knowledge of the por= ting system along with being suitably risk adverse when updating the master= repo.

If I were to get involved does "teaching the ropes" a= t all possibly include learning other things like networking and possibly a= nd hopefully learning how to port software? A lot of times (but by far from all the time) porting requires at least bas= ic programming skills since you often need to find parts of the code that a= re incompatible with FreeBSD and make them compatible (you then include a p= atch for the work in the port files).

A port maintainer as Mathew said is resonible for keeping a port in good wo= rking order visa vie FreeBSD. A good example is when I took over maintaine= rship of devel/aegis it was to update to the latest released version (the o= riginal author passed away in 2014 and no one has picked up the ball to mak= e new versions since despite a small group of hardcore users [including my = self]) and all was good then when FreeBSD started to phase out the preferen= ce for GCC I had to make some patches to make it work with LLVM, etc. Taking over a dead port is likely not as good of an learning experience as = making and maintaining a new one.
