Have you tried asking for a review on the freebsd-ports@freebsd.org

reviews.freebsd.org for new Ports, it is extra work, tho, the added

Apparently, the right people are hanging out on
comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. ;-)

You should have been here when loads of the official mailing lists where

For what it's worth: I still run a hack to forward posts to announce@ to
comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce.

Gmane also still exists.  A bit.

sadly gone now, and now, even mailing lists are being replaced by shit
like Github, and even Matrix has entered the picture.

The optimist's view is that a lot of the noise that made Usenet and
mailing lists less productive since September 1993 has now moved
elsewhere.  You don't have to follow GitHub.  And I'm not even going to
look up what Matrix is. :-)
