Version: 2016.20160513.41080.dfsg-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Consider this example "test.mf":
drawdot (35,70); showit;
If we run "mf test" the graphics window comes up but nothing is displayed.

And? You are not defining any character, so what should mf show you?
Here is a working invocation:
[~] mf
This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182818 (TeX Live 2016/Debian) (preloaded base=mf)
**\relax
*mode_setup;
*beginchar ("a", 9pt#, 12pt#, 0);
*pickup pencircle scaled 4pt;
*drawdot(4pt, 4pt);
*showit;
*endchar;
[97]
*end
Output written on mfput.2602gf (1 character, 656 bytes).
Transcript written on mfput.log.
You might want to look into metapost, but even there you have to
start a picture before drawing.
Closing this bug.
