How long should one wait on a maintainer? I've emailed them directly and they said they would take care of updating the port "tonight". That was 5 days ago. The latest version of the software was released almost 2 months ago, and fixed major stability issues. A whole host of vendor patches have been released *since then* that have fixed 2 Major (vendor terms), 4 Medium, and various other issues. There have been several outstanding PRs that are several weeks old and one that is 4 months old (although it is for the version currently in the port, not the latest version). There was a previous commit by a non-maintainer after a ~3 month timeout (same maintainer). I'm not sure I have the expertise to take over the port, but I don't know what else to do now. Any guidance would be appreciated, Jon Noack
