"He" is a mailing list.

- Drop maintainership to ruby@

Beyond this point virtually no development has happened. The
sourceforge project hasn't been updated since around that time and
there are open PRs over two years old. Unfortuantely, FreeBSD has a
lot of these niche mailing lists that virtually nobody reads but have
PRs auto-assigned to them, effectively acting as a black hole.
freebsd-rc is one of the worst offenders - other than Doug Barton,
there don't seem to be any developers involved there and it has a
massive buildup of unreviewed patches.

So I would say portupgrade is unmaintained and thus encourage people
to move to portmaster.
