Philip,
there's a branch in projects/ we use for developing pkgtools.
This place is exactly where portupgrade-devel comes from.
Feel free to submit your patches/echancements.
But, please, do not commit PRs blindly, most of them require
a lot of thought and work.  I committed all the low-hanging
fruit before.

Saying this, I'm absolutely against passing the port to ports at .
The reason it's assigned on ruby@ and not ports@ is that we
don't want random people committing to this port thus possibly
destabilizing the important tool.
