In this shlib bump case the best way to go is:
- update you port and test it on Tindy
- rebuild all dependent port on Tindy
- if you feel the need notify the maintainers of depended ports and
sort out the problems with them
- commit your port update
- bump PORTREVISION of dependent ports.

I am sure only the fact that English is not my native language makes me
read as I do what you wrote above.

What the submitter of the PR did is:
- quality work (complete work)
- your work (you being the maintainer of this port)
So he didn't dump anything on you, au contriare.

BTW, you might want to read last portmgr report.
