I don't object if you fix ports builds, but doing ports updates
without maintainer's approval right and left is not acceptable, read
Porters Handbook how it should be handled, thanks.

You don't need to boogle your mind, you just need to submit the PR,
assign it to portmgr and they decide what to do with it.

Sure ?  IIRC you didn't answer his mails *at all*.  But after
repocopy I suddenly heard complains from you side.

You were asked 3(!) times if it was approved or not by maintainer,
since you updated the port, but you didn't care and want to complain
now ?
