us.emacs.kbd PR in limbo for 5 years!

Folks,

PR conf/59600 has been open now for five years.  It attempts to correct
the broken arrow keys of the us.emacs.kbd keymap.

When one installs FreeBSD, one is asked to choose a keymap early on in 
the process, and choosing us.emacs.kbd will prevent installation from
proceeding, since both fdisk and sysinstall will not function correctly 
with the broken key mappings. Also affected: kbdmap and vidcontrol.

I would like to fix this.  Before I bother digging into this, I was just 
wondering why the previous effort to fix this has stalled?  Anyone know?
