pkgsrc/doc/TODO and pkgsrc/wip/TODO contain list of outdated packages
that needs to be updated (but also sending a PR about that it's
okay).

If the update is pretty trivial - e.g. just distinfo changes and
DISTNAME bump or similar - than using send-pr is probably the best
way (please note that attaching a patch and a candidate commit
message usually has much more chance that it will be quickly
applied!  :)). Otherwise, IMHO, it's better to use pkgsrc-wip where
it's okay to commit WIP work and ease reviews.  For more information
about pkgsrc-wip please give a look to: <http://www.pkgsrc.org/wip/>
