I have brought a older port maintained by ports at freebsd.org to the 
current version.... I have done all the work needed to make it 
committable.... I have several questions first:

1. How do I take maintainership of the port?

2. How do I submit the patch to bring it upto date? (I know for new 
ports I do PR with a special subject but in a case like this).

Just so people know the port in question is devel/tailor I upgraded it 
from 0.9.32 to 0.9.34 because 34 has added 3 or so more back ends.

As to the reason for asking for taking the maintainership is the ports 
2.0 team needs it for internal development (we use aegis internally and 
need to translate to cvs).
