These are more terse.

I will have to demur with one bit of advice you got, "create a new
port".  We have historically lagged on adding new ports.  Currently
there are 351 pending:

  https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?list_id=887996&order=short_desc%2Cpriority%2Cbug_severity&product=Ports%20%26%20Packages&query_format=advanced&resolution=---&short_desc=new%20port&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr

Looking at one or two of those PRs might be instructive as to how we
go about things, though.
