Hi, everyone. Two of my PRs, ports/175223 [1] and ports/176701 [2], have
been automatically assigned to committers, and both have reached
maintainer timeout a while ago. Could someone unassign them, so other
committers could take a look?

Thanks in advance.

(I still think this should be done automatically. I would prefer not to
bother everyone at ports@ for such things).
