Like I said before, the port definitely needs some work and I don't have
the time to maintain it properly.

Please go ahead and take maintainership -- although I submitted the port I
didn't become maintainer because I don't have the resources to support this
port properly. I was hoping someone would step forward and do this.

Once again, I'll put this on the bottom of my work queue until I have time
to work on it once again, but that will not be in the near future.
