While we have a number of problems with maintainers not maintaining
their ports properly, this isn't the right approach to fixing the
problem. Remember that all ports maintainers are volunteers -- the
few people that get paid to work on FreeBSD full- or part-time are
working in the source tree, not the ports tree.
The better way to solve this problem is to send a PR with a patch
to update the port with the latest version that builds on -current.
If the maintainer does not respond after two weeks, it's fair game
for someone else to commit the PR. If the maintainer does not update
a port for more than a few months, maintainership can be assigned to
someone else.
