Ahh, I'm looking at this here:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/port-upgrading.html

I went through the earlier steps about finding any outstanding issues, I
can't see any pending PRs here:
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=etcd&wildcard=
am I looking for it wrong?

The next step in the guide is:

> If there is no pending PR, the next step is to send an email to the
port's maintainer, as shown by make maintainer.

perhaps it could be revised to indicate that you should prefer to open a PR
first?
