It doesn't make sense to provide shars, since:

- for new ports, shars are optional (diff or shar, shars were historically the
required form), and 
- for port updates, diffs are required

Beyond that...

Seeing two attachments (among other things) on a bug can confuse people and
prevent/discourage people from taking them to resolution (commit). Are they the
same? Why are there two? Is one an older version?

All of these questions lead to the 'too hard' or 'not easy/ready enough'
perception basket, which is not what you want as a contributor, or we want as a
project.

The best advice and guidelines I can provide for contribution are documented
here:

- https://wiki.freebsd.org/KubilayKocak/ThePerfectPortsIssue
- https://wiki.freebsd.org/KubilayKocak/Bugzilla/DosAndDonts

All of the guidelines are based on experience, aimed at improving time to
response through reduced ambiguity, greater explicitness and reduced number of
cycles (back and forth). They also level up your contribution game. 

If you have any (more) questions, we're on #freebsd-bugs and #freebsd-ports on
freenode IRC
