That's only partially true, and hardly something I'd call a solution.
You already know that a lot of ports people only take care of their own
ports, so that only helps perpetuating the situation. Something like
NetBSD's pkgsrc-wip would work IF commiters had an active role and stuff
was merged on a regular basis. Just my HO.
