Hi,

I think that the answer to your question is in the auto-mail you received:

> If you have already corrected the problems and submitted a
> PR, please accept my thanks and apologies for the delay in getting the
> fixes into the tree.  This reminder is created automatically and does

Which means, check the problem on your system, try to fix it there (if you
have the time), and if you come up with a fix, send it as a patch in the PR
using the "send-pr" command.

Somebody in the FreeBSD team will pick it up and commit the fix.

This usually works well. And is probably easier to manage than giving commit
privileges to everybody who created a port.

Good luck,

Patrick.
