If you'd like (or are offering) to maintain the port, please create a
separate issue updating the MAINTAINER line and have it depend on the
existing open issues (so they can be committed first).

The maintainer change can then be made after maintainer timeout (2+ weeks).

It's much easier and preferred to update maintainers with an explicit
offer and change (in a bug), than to release a port with the possible
prospect of having no maintainer.
