Are you planning to maintain it in the meantime? I'm asking because the
rationale looks like maintainer squatting or favoritism. In the past we
had a similar issue with placeholder maintainer of ports-mgmt/portmaster
which confused users about the actual status. The general issue stemmed
from some committers arguing against handing out handing out maintainership
to people who've never submitted a patch (to the port in question).
That got partially addressed by portmgr@ making a policy of revoking
maintainership after 3 months of no feedback or 3 consecutive timeouts.
