Eventually someone will take care of it. I'm sure someone will confirm or refute this, but I believe the ports system is currently frozen in preparation for the release of 4.9. Due to unusually extensive pre-release changes, the freeze is now at two weeks and counting. Once the freeze is off a large number of ports will get updated; there is apparently an unusually large bolus of changes backed up never mind the fixing any breakage due to the changes in 4.9.
