Wanted to take over maintenance of "fox" port...

I'm interested in taking over maintenance of the "fox" port (which appears to have been abandoned). Since I'm new to this, I wanted to confirm that no one else is already working on it. I also wanted to confirm that the procedure for submitting a new or updated port is to submit a Trac ticket for it, and then notify the commiter(s) about it. Thanks in advance for, um, confirmation of these questions. ;)
