Well, it's always nice to check process and procedures while it's
not time-critical 8-}
And you are right, the porters handbook still mentions send-pr.
There is one thing which is very nice to have for an incoming PR:
poudriere test logs that prove that the updated port builds cleanly.
If you never used poudriere, have a look at this short starter guide:

Always update bugzilla (says the guy who preferres mail...)

No, it's fine. I guess I would only release new versions if runtime bugs
or runtime functionality changes. You also updated the autotools
environment, maybe that fixes other stuff as well.
You re-rolled the distfile without a version change, this is not
purrrfect, but well, what else is 8-)
