"There is no maintainer for this port." :(

Can I ask what version of Signal are you running? I have 6.42.0_1 
installed and it says it is outdated for about a week or so. I tried to 
updated my desktop today but there is no Signal package in quarterly 2024Q2:

% pkg version -vRL = | grep signal
signal-desktop-6.42.0_1            ?   orphaned: net-im/signal-deskto

I see there is an updated version (6.48.1) in a quarterly ports tree 
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/net-im/signal-desktop?h=2024Q2
But why is it missing from the packages?

I can try to build it my-self in a Poudriere but is 6.48 still working 
or is it outdated too?

(I really hate this style of deprecating application every 3 months or 
so without any incompatible changes in a protocol)

Kind regards
