Gosh, there is a lot of packages not maintained !
It could be interesting to launch a call for maintainers on the blog ?
Hmmm - I'm a maintainer of three ports - and waiting since one to three weeks for commitments ...
If this happens to new maintainers - think they will not be maintainers for very long
I would encourage you, and anybody else who is a maintainer and who would like to be able to do their own commits, to simply apply for committer status. We are not particularly selective about giving out commit bits, as long as the individual has shown that they can maintain ports in a trustworthy fashion. http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/wiki/NewCommittersGuide James
