The problem isn't the 'porter-friendliness' of the distribution
It is. Otherwise I would have already added a multitude of ports to openSUSE. It's just too complicated. I talked to multiple SUSE people with experience in that regard and they all told me that openSUSE has no easy approach for bootstrapping the distribution for a new target.
problem is a lack of people actually engaging with the opportunities already available to contribute and being far happier to complain instead of contributing.
I'm maintaining 9 ports in Debian unstable together with a bunch of other people that randomly help me with the effort. In Gentoo, there are also only a handful of people doing that work. You don't need as much manpower if the distribution is porter-friendly.
So..how about we call this nonsense thread to a close?
That's not how mailing list discussions work :-). Adrian
