This is very nice to let the "official" maintainer deal with the appropriate
PRs, but Peter has not done anything about squid since last august. There
are now 5 PRs in the database that deal with upgrades to squid for various
problems (21756, 21761, 20730, 22637 and this one). All of them (except
22637) can be closed if this last one (23264) is commited. I am sure that
peter is really busy with other more important things and does not have the
time to look over these trivial changes. Maybe he should release the
maintainership so that the port can be updated in a timely manner. It is
getting annoying to patch the squid port manually to stay up to date.

This is not intended as criticism against Peter since I am sure that he has
more important things to do. It's just that the patches that are required
for squid should probably not be gated for so long, especially when they are
so trivial.


Patrick.
