The ball has been back in my court since Michael sent me his update
for 4.01.  I've some other updates to commit this weekend, and I'll
resume the test builds for this and the associated PRs on Sunday.
(Hopefully some of the blockers from last time have now been fixed.)

On open PRs in the database you cite above (it is searchable), or
unsolved failures on the mailing lists (e.g. freebsd-ports or
freebsd-pkg-fallout)  that interest or affect you.  Some recent goals
or changes are mentioned on wiki.FreebSD.org (although this contains
some outdated material as well).  Some of unfinished short-term
objectives include converting ports to support staging and to compile
with clang on FreeBSD 10, and updating the Porter's handbook.
