Don't worry. Just do good work, and it will be picked up by the OpenBSD
project at some time.

We are chronically short-manned.   So it may take lots of times for the
project to adopt new stuff.  Likewise, there is some diversity in the
quality of submitted material.  If a port needs some profound work to
actually fit within the OpenBSD ports tree, someone must take the time to
do that work. 


And Liam is doing some very useful work in letting us know what's going on.

Don't worry. Just do the work. If it is good, we'll pick it up.
