--- Comment #1 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs at FreeBSD.org> ---
I think this kind of change is a great opportunity (and place) to actively seek
out/ask for new contributors. I also like the NOTICE level.

MAINTAINER=ports@ ports do not always mean might be removed.

I suggest the following changes to the messaging:

NOTICE: 

$PORTNAME does not currently have a maintainer and may have unresolved
issues or not be up-to-date. If you would like to maintain this port,
please create an issue at: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla

You can read more about port maintainership here:
