Marking a port BROKEN should only be used as a last resort, either
because there is no maintainer to contact, the upstream has dropped the
project, or there being no abvious techinical solution for the problem.
Given this particular case, there both is an active maintainer and an
easy techinical solution, so why not send a personal message to the
maintainer reminding him of the issue, or even better, providing a patch
for it?

Best,
