The ones which are updates to existing ports, have you emailed the maintainer of said port?

I did as you suggested. What about those ports written by nomaintainer@macports.org?

Those are free game for anybody to commit to (and, ideally, take over maintainership).

Then could you change as follows?

#11519 octave-forge enhancement

#11512 odcctools enhancement

#11516 cdo-1.0.6 enhancement

Please set priorities of octave-forge and odcctools to Nice to have.

Done

Could someone tell me how portfiles are reviewed?

Will someone commit it if it is OK?

In general the best way to do this is to submit tickets, and email the maintainer about them. If the maintainer doesn't respond in 3 days, or if there is no maintainer, email this list with the tickets (be sure to state the maintainer didn't respond after 3 days if that's the case).. Generally somebody looks at the tickets and commits them if they're fine, or tells you what's wrong if they aren't.
