nudge: please commit updates to pcb and ng-spice for subsequent gEDA port

Hello,

As suggested in the MacPorts guide, I take the liberty to nudge committers on the dev list to process updates for the following ports following a 72 hour grace period:

port pcb : ticket #18172, submitted four days ago.
has been assigned to the listed maintainer, but is more than likely abandoned.  The current port version dates from almost four years ago.

While you're at it, you can process
port ng-spice: ticket #18208, submitted only two days ago, but still has not been assigned at all.  This is a 'nomaintainer' port and could be processed immediately by any maintainer.

Sorry for leaning on the side of impatience, but I'm trying to complete a list of ports for the whole gEDA (GPL's Electronic Design Automation) suite and that's a total of about fifteen ports.  Having up-to-date ports for present portions of that suite would be really helpful.

Actually, I'd like to have your opinion on this: the core gEDA package consists of 10 ports that I already have working on my local repository.  Should I:
1) open 10 tickets, one for each port submission?
2) open 1 ticket with all port files and patches in a compressed file?
3) apply first as a port maintainer so that I can also commit all these new packages?

Your feedback on this would be appreciated.

With my salutations,

Nicolas.
