Hi Armin,

The correct way to submit your work is to raise a bug report here:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/

Once you have signed up for an account / logged in, select New -> Ports &
Packages -> Individual Ports(s).

Attach your work as a diff of the existing ports, preferably generated with
"svn diff". Select the "patch" tickbox when attaching it.

A committer will get around to looking at it soon enough.

Thanks for your work!

Cheers,
Ben
