We're discussing the issue based on committer input, and hope to have
a new policy shortly.

It's run in series with the 4.x and 5.x package runs, if there are any
patches in the 4-exp tree.  Proposed bsd.port.mk patches should be
send-pr'ed and assigned to portmgr so we have a record of them, and
they are applied to the 4-exp tree by portmgr members, who all have
write access to the 4-exp tree (without needing root).  Once a patch
is applied it will be built the next time 4-exp comes around in the
cycle.  If it completes the package build without causing any breakage
(see the comparison 4-exp/4 logs on http://bento.freebsd.org) then it
will be committed to the tree.

Submit the application to portmgr for voting.  If approved by portmgr,
we'll CC admin indicating as such, and the mentor and/or mentee
submits their account information as usual.

To head off what I expect you'll say next, we've already announced our
intention to find a portmgr secretary to make sure we stop losing
track of issues once they've been voted upon.
