Thank you for your response.

At the moment the author is actively maintaining the software
and responds to pull requests and open issues in a timely
manner. He was even kind enough to open pull requests against
our fork. What I would do is ask him to introduce tagged versions,
so portscout can inform us that it's time to update the port.

So, unless there is a history of animosities with that specific
author, forking an actively maintained project to prepare
for him going MIA in the future seems quite unorthodox to me.
All it does is create extra work for us and slow down
progress.

I would only fork once upstream becomes stale or uncooperative.
This doesn't seem to be the case here.

Assuming there will be an actual need to fork epoll-shim in
the future, it might make more sense to do it under
github.com/freebsd though, as its usefulness may not be limited
to the desktop and having epoll compatibility could be useful
when porting all kinds of software from linux.
