Dan,

`make maintainer` is a roundabout way of finding the maintainer.
`grep -i ^maintainer Makefile` will get you the MAINTAINER line from the 
Makefile.

The maintainer listed for lcdproc is ports@, which means there is no
singular maintainer, and if you want the port updated you have to submit
the updated ports files yourself or convince someone else to do it for
you. 

This is usually done by submitting a ports PR, but someone else will have
to tell you about that. I think this is the handbook, too.

Regards,
Daniel
