Contribute approx. 50 pr's with patches that are consistently coded and prove to work (and in the right format) no shar files please.

Does the Porter's Handbook need to be updated then? It explicitly says to use shar files to send ports in section 3.6, or where you referring specifically to patches and not full ports?

That is my understanding at least: shar for new ports diffs for patches and updates to existing ports.

HTH

That is correct, although it is possible to use a unified diff with the "-N" flag against a non existent source. The problem is too many contributors send in update pr's in shar format which are a real PITA to deal with from our end.

You may notice that many pr's aren't picked up by committers for just that reason.

In the above I was referring to updates, not new ports.
