I suspect that you are missing the fact that all ports which lack a specific maintainer (most of them) are maintained by ports@. So the messages to ports are only for the vast array of ports that are unmaintained. There is no one else to contact. Ideally, if someone has a little free time, they can look at the list and pick a couple to update and submit the update in a PR to ports with a category of "update". Or even better, become the maintainer, yourself. I have been maintainer for a couple of ports that were critical to my work, so I could be sure that they would be updated promptly. -- R.
