Ideally, yes. But in practice I doubt that every maintainer is subscribed
to ports@ -- and reads it frequently. Hence, I always recommend to e-mail
the maintainer, CC'ing ports@ if necessary/useful (such as in this case).
Or to submit a PR, of course :-)

The public service is of course appreciated, no doubts there. Has the
maintainer of science/hdf5 been informed of these PRs? For example, is
he on the CC list for any of those bugs?
