notion port: will it be confirmed?

Hello forums & porters!

Have a question;

As I understand, ion3 was removed due to Tuomo's inadequacy (which, seriously, I doubt: he is strange, yes, but inadequate, no). Now ion3 was abandoned and there is its fork around: notion.

1) Will it be confirmed in ports tree if there will be port created?
2) There was still no 'stable' release of this software, e.g. no tarball, just git. Will it work for ports? How?

If not, should I create snapshot of that?

2.0.1 edit: there is a tarball, but it's git snapshot of april 2011. There is development ongoing, so the question still goes here.
 
1) Ion3 was removed because of licensing issues, not "Tuomo's inadequacy"
2) If you create a good port and submit it as a PR there is a the software can be committed.
3) Yes, you should create a snapshop of the git repo. Or better, convince upstream to make real releases.
 
@nekoexmachina:

Do you actually creating the port? I use an old ion3 on a linux machine and want to switch to FreeBSD. I didn't like the other tiling manager and hopes for a ion3-fork (such notion) in the Portstree.

Do you need help with the port?
