All Python language ports (lang/python*) bugfix and security updates 
should be committed to head and then merged to quarterly as part of the 
same task as a matter of course.

The python38 update is being tracked here:

   https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=258195

Once committed/merged, the availability of updates packages is 
contingent on the package building infrastructure, which can take up to 
  a few days to complete on average, if there are no other issues.
