It seems to me that a "semi-automated" procedure would really only be a 
separate send-pr or mailing list, both of which we already have.  The 
problem really is just waiting for a pkgsrc dev to champion your 
package, which is something that we really can't change.  I think the 
best route is to get it working and peer-reviewed on pkgsrc-wip and to 
email the pkgsrc-wip list when it is done.  This minimizes the work that 
committers have to do and maximizes your chances of getting the package 
accepted.  It has worked well for me.
