It's just for your PR fester processing.

Read the Porter's Handbook and feel free to ask all your questions in
ports@ mail list.

Look at ports/75016 as example. I'd like to note you on this points:
1) synopsis line in format: [maintainer] category/port: what change
2) Clsass: maintainer-update
(1) and 2) only if you're a port maintainer)
3) in Description: the reason of PR (may be more descriptive than
synopsis, may be not).
4) Specify list of files you add and remove.
5) Fix contains unify diff (diff -ruN or cvs diff -u if you use a CVS
tree (not cvsup))
Things changed if you submit a new port.
Thank you for contributing.
