requesting repocopy or any other solutions?

[meta]

Since devel/rubygem-slop has been updated, my port
net-im/rubygem-earthquake does not work. I know, this is because
rubygem-earthquake requires rubygem-slop 2.x.

Is it ok to request repocopy fomer portversion of rubygem-slop to
e.g. rubygem-slop244? Or any other solutions should I take?

Thanks in advance,
