Alternately, you could submit a patch.
While you're welcome to post FreeBSD-related email of just about any
nature, you're posting is not (generally) conducive to getting things
done in the Open Source world. The following improvements will likely
lead to better responses in the future.
* ale at freebsd.org is listed as the maintainer for this port. By
emailing ports@, you show that you haven't done any real research
into the situation. It would be appropriate to email ale@ first
to check on the status, and only email ports@ if ale@ doesn't
respond.
* You email comes across as rather demanding. While that may not
have been your intent, that's how it reads. Demanding things of
volunteers usually doesn't win you a lot of friends. Consider
using phrases like, "is there any way I can help speed up the
process" It's quite possible that ale@ is working on it, and
having some testers would be helpful to him.
