            Bug ID: 197186
           Summary: Porter's Handbook: Updating "Submitting Port" section
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: khung at nullaxiom.com

I think there should be a section after either "4.6. Handling User Input" or
"9. Testing the Port" to refer to the same "Submitting the New Port" section
that the Quick Porting section has. All the other items under Quick Porting
have a separate expanded section, but it's a bit confusing to not have one for
submission of the port.

As a more concrete documentation fix, the "bug submit form" link in section 3.6
should probably direct to here:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Ports%20%26%20Packages

Otherwise, it should state to choose "Ports & Packages" and then select
"Individual Port(s)" for the Component. Right now it just says "category Ports
Tree", which is quite confusing as that is not an option anywhere in the
current system.
