This is an open-source project; patches speak louder than words. There
is a process outlined in the porters' handbook (that I've pointed you at
before) for getting ports system rejigs to even be considered.

(Given the ability of existing tools to search for ports in "half-assed"
virtual categories, I think you overstate your case.)
