In an email to the draft authors, Paul Hoffman wrote: I see that you want a system port for DoQ. That makes sense for looking "official", but it greatly delays the ability to reference the port before IETF Last Call on draft-ietf-dprive-dnsoquic. Could I propose instead that you take one from the user port space, and apply for it now? You have a WG-adopted draft, and one of you is even part of the expert review team for ports. You could even ask for a cute one that ends in "53".

The thread went on, pointing out that 8853 would be a good choice.

We have decided to use port 853.
