No, that was ok. If you receive no feedback on a port, you most certainly ported an application noone is interested in. From time to time a committer might be bored and check and import such a port, but don't count on it, especially if it was some complicated port or completetly b0rked one.

> layout in their ports submission mails that I couldn't find any

Most important is the information you provide. What did you port, what does the application do and where to find more information (url).

> which is the reason I attached them to my mails. :-/

That's perfectly ok.  

> Is there any remote interest in these ports at all? Did I just not

I for one only do commits every other week as I am pretty busy currently and have my own projects (own ports, systrace'd port building, ...). Having said this, we are currently less than 5(?) porters actually looking at stuff people submit. You get the idea...

Make it interesting and submit correct and simple to verify ports. :)

This, unfortunately, is the way it works. If you don't have fun doing a port, don't do it. Most ports are just for your own pleasure.
