I explained in detail why your port hasn't been committed since June a
couple of hours ago; http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=148777
Procedure:

You have to have a proven track record of sending _good_ code; they
don't want people committing unless they know exactly what to do! This
takes time and practice.
You also have to have a record of answering questions well in the lists.
