you yourself should be the maintainer. meaning that you are responsible
for keeping the port up to date when new versions of the original app are
released or when the port breaks for some other reason (eg gcc updates). 
the latter happens quite rarely.

if you specify apache at freebsd.org, this means the apache guys are
responsible, but no one in specific. this is generally a bad idea as
we already have enough ports without a maintainer (those that list
ports at freebsd.org as their maintainer).

cheers, t.
