Ugh, actually,

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing-ports/maintain-port.html

reads in a section Maintainer _responsibilities_, quote:

5.2.4 Providing support

Part of being a maintainer is providing support -- not for the software
in general -- but for the port and any FreeBSD-specific quirks and
problems. Users may contact you with questions, suggestions, problems
and patches. Most of the time their correspondence will be specific to
FreeBSD.


So that reads as exact opposite of what you wrote. You may want to
adjust your attitude here :)
