Uuuups, I am sorry. I was thinking: all the information is in the PR

Yes it is rm@freebsd.org 
Yes it is graphics/gimp-gmic-plugin
Yes, I did last hear from him on 

I did not mail him directly. Our communication worked via that PR.
That works until 14 December 2015. After that I tried to ask him -
unhappily again via the PR.

Okay, I understand that and will remeber it the next time. Sorry. I
felt a little bit helpless. A am not a programmer, I cannot fix a port
by myself. I just like to use graphics/gimp-gmic-plugin

And this port has (different) issues in versions
1.5.x
1.6.0
1.6.8 (not in the port yet)

rm@ gave me a patch to try and to test 1.6.8 ¡V to step over the issues
of 1.5.x and 1.6.0 - But it has other issues. Does completely not work
(a show stopper).

In the old versions 1.6.0 and 1.5.x some filters does not wort
(explained in the PR).
