If you don't received an answer within a reasonable timeout (3 day= s > to 1 week), feel free to fill a PR. This includes emails as well as PRs. Of course, it's best to formalize requests as PRs. =20 With regard to p5-XML-LibXML, I had contacted the maintainer (skv@) on September 4, 2003 about this port as it was breaking during the 4.9-RELEASE build. That is sufficiently long to constitute an AWOL maintainer. If someone has a patch, and would like to maintain this port, they are welcome to do so.
