In a nutshell:

1. Check upstream to see if there's no newer version. If there is, try to
update the port.

2. Change MAINTAINER, indeed.

3. If you can, mirror the distfile and add your site to MASTER_SITES.

4. See if the port has been stagified yet. If the Makefile still contains
NO_STAGE=yes
the port has not been stagified yet. In that case, it needs to be
stagified asap.

5. Try to do as much testing as you can to see if there's anything else
that needs to be done. Although a quick look suggests that this particular
port appears to be in good shape.

Thanks for offering to help out,

AvW
