As maintainer of a (likely rarely-used) port (x11-wm/piewm), I
received a note from pkg-fallout, requested & received advice on
how to adrdess it, filed a bug report & attached a maintainer-approved
patch; got some advice on a better fix, updated the bug report with
the better fix ... and have now received at least 3 more notices
of the same failure on the same port...

It's https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248859, in case you
wanted to see for yourself.

As I'm not a committer, it's not clear to me what (else) I can do to
help fix this.

Peace,
