Thanks for the report. However the ftp dates are not relevant here as if you
remove the files and re add the files the date will change. If you look at the
entire git log you will see that this has been with version 4.16 in the tree
which was the primary reason of removing.

However as you have mentioned that there are active upstream development going
on feel free to submit a patch and take over maintainership as unmaintained
ports are more susceptive to removal than maintained ports. While we try to
keep as many ports as possible we should also make sure that it does not add
overhead to portmgr as they have to do sweeping changes while required.

Before submitting a port make sure to test build with poudriere and use
portlint/portclippy.
