Really? I've chatted with the xchat devs recently and they seemed to be active.

As a general rule ports should not maintain or develop software. If
you would like to continue development we need to become the
_upstream_ developer and maintain a fork or patchset from which you
roll releases (and provide the appropriate support). FreeBSD is not in
a position to review code to upstream projects.
