Just a suggestion from someone who isn't actively using the ports repository: why not have separate Git repositories for each individual port, and base these repositories on the [glibc]/master branch? Doing so, the ports maintainers could periodically merge in [glibc]/master into their ports' branches (which may either be in a separate repository or in the main glibc repository), and it would also automatically be documented which port is maintained, which was the last version of [glibc]/master this port was tested with.
