<sigh> indeed.

Already done. Lucky for me he approved very quickly. Having said that, 
personally, I expect a maintainer to keep a port up to date. That's now I 
got my ports bit, initially. I kept submitting PRs and sending patches to 
nectar@ (my ports mentor) until he literally got sick of my constant 
pestering and sent me an invite. I kind of think maintainers would want to 
do that. It is what it is I guess.
