Have these people been talking to the maintainers, or those responsible for outstanding PRs? Because I've only had two inquiries in the past several months. There were a few delays as maintainership passed from stas to new volunteers, the pre-release freeze was drawn-out, some upstream bugs were fixed, and while other changes (like tcl/tk) were made. But I expect that the new ocaml will be done soon (right after an update of lablgtk2) , and Michael Grunewald has been active. An ocaml alias and mailing list might help at least for the unmaintained ports, and as a place for discussions. b.
