Dominique - I've registered my email on the mentor site as a placeholder, at least.
I assume this is something that with a little help, anyone who compiles rakudo regularly would be able to get a new release packaged at least a few times a year. As someone who managed a macport aeons ago, any chance you could hold my hand through the process of getting the package updated? I'm happy to make the code/config changes and do the actual submittal.
