There's nothing wrong with your reply.  I've indeed overlooked the PORTEPOCH
when restoring the port (albeit not sure how useful it is now as the port
had been gone for nearly seven years).  Feel free to add it back as I can't
commit at the moment.

As for maintainer, I've simply restored the old (previous) one; I would've
taken it if it was ports@, but as I'd be probably interacting closer with
Mono/.Net platform under FreeBSD, it should be fine for now.
