Requests for port updates

Has bugzilla taken on the role of being the repository for update
requests?  With gnats, when the synopsis contained port information (eg
mail\opendkim ...) the "issue" was routed directly to the maintainer. 
If there is no auto-routing then how is a maintainer to be alerted to a
port request - unless they happen to refer to bugzilla.

Mailing freebsd-ports just doesn't seem right... but if it is

mail/opendkim - current PORTVERSION is 2.8.3, while version 2.9.2 has
been available since April and uses --with-lmdb
sysutils/cfengine36 - released today.  Modified the VERSION number and
built 3.6.0 cleanly. Preliminary testing ok. (also uses lmdb)
www/phpbb3 - Changing PORTVERSION=3.0.11 to 3.0.12 and building is ok too.

Dewayne.
