That's a good start :-) If the maintainer is ports@, it often means that the original maintainer couldn't be reached anymore or that he/she isn't interested in maintaining the port. At that moment the port is free for grab for anybody who wants to maintain it. So if you're interested in becoming maintainer, feel free to submit a PR for it (if you Cc me on it I'll make sure that you are noted down as maintaer) and it will be processed.
