It takes at least two OpenBSD developers to add a new port to the tree:
one to actually make the commit and another to give an ok (effectively,
sign-off) for it. Of course, more than one ok (from multiple OpenBSD
developers) is welcome.

I've done the ok part. That's one. Now a second person has to actually
make the commit that will add your port to the ports tree.
Alternatively, that second person can give me an ok and I can make the
commit.
