maintainer timeout?

[Jon Noack]

How long should one wait on a maintainer?  I've emailed them directly 
and they said they would take care of updating the port "tonight".  That 
was 5 days ago.  The latest version of the software was released almost 
2 months ago, and fixed major stability issues.  A whole host of vendor 
patches have been released *since then* that have fixed 2 Major (vendor 
terms), 4 Medium, and various other issues.  There have been several 
outstanding PRs that are several weeks old and one that is 4 months old 
(although it is for the version currently in the port, not the latest 
version).

There was a previous commit by a non-maintainer after a ~3 month timeout 
(same maintainer).  I'm not sure I have the expertise to take over the 
port, but I don't know what else to do now.

Any guidance would be appreciated,
Jon Noack
