If you are a ports-committer, you change the maintinaer field to your
@freeebsd.org address and commit the change.

If you are not a ports committer, you change the maintainer field as
abovve, do a diff -u against the original file, and include that diff
undex "Fix" in a problem report using send-pr. The PR should be of type
"change-request".
