Not just for you: when sending messages like this, more detail would
help.  Who's the maintainer (rm at freebsd.org)?  What's the port
(graphics/gimp-gmic-plugin)?  When did you last hear from the
maintainer (14 December 2015)?  Have you tried to contact him directly
since then?

This isn't just being pedantic.  People reading your message may not
be bothered to follow the link, and unless they think it might be of
interest, they're likely to just delete it without follow-up.  If it
turns out to be something that they know about, or they know of the
whereabouts of rm@, you might get some action.
