Updating your port before it is committed does indicate a certain degree = of=20 commitment to keeping the port up to date, which is a good thing. You can't really assume anything about the status of your submission if i= t is still unassigned. All that really means is that no one has yet taken responsibility for checking and committing it. If there were any questio= ns as to whether the port should be added to the tree at all, then they woul= d be coming to you from the committer that had assigned the PR to themselves. = If your new port has been languishing unassigned for a long time (I'd say a = few weeks at least), it's legitimate to ask about its status on this list -- = as you say, submitting the port during the holiday season may well have slip= ped it under the radar of anyone that might work on it.
