Yep, that was it (See below).

Indeed, thanks to everyone.

I would like to pass on maintainership of all my ports, most ports I
maintain are X11 based and I don't really use FreeBSD with X11 anymore
nowadays (Due to crappy Xorg ``releases'' if you can call 'em that, OpenBSD
works much better for me ATM).
However, I don't want to pass maintainership *right now*, for example, I
have spent quite some time a few months ago improving the audio/csound
port, and this afternoon I spent some time making final adjustments and
some (hopefully useful) instructions for the new maintainer.

I guess all of this can also be done after maintainership is passed, but
my idea was that people would call out that they were willing to maintain a
port, that I would make final adjustments (if any), and then submit a PR
with the adjustments and maintainer change.

Sorry if I wasn't too clear, I just assumed this must be standard
procedure ...

Regards,
Martin
