While it's eminently fair for anyone to take time off FreeBSD (this is, after all, a volunteer project!), it's somewhat awkward to have someone who is doing so, maintaining a high-profile port like this one. There are a number of PRs filed against it. Having said that, David has been polite and prompt in replying to my own emails (about the PRs' states -- implying that several of them are older and should just be closed, but I myself don't know enough about samba to know what's what and thus close them myself). But perhaps I could suggest that David might want to hand this port one off to someone who is more actively developing, using samba on FreeBSD, right now? This is not meant as anything personal, it's more out of concern for those PRs (which one of my ports monitoring reports consistently highlights :-) ) mcl
