Thank you Maun Suang and Ryan Schmidt with the updates regarding Bacula and how its not an uncommon occurrence to have a MacPort that has no maintainer listed. I need to ask my boss first before I could commit to adopting Bacula as a new maintainer (believe it or not, while the company I work for is quite liberal and allows we little employees to work a small percentage of our time on open source projects, our employment contract specifically states that we have to clear permission from the company first before we can indulge in an open source project).
Much thanks,
-Tabitha
P.S. Thanks also for the reminder that the Bacula port was updated to version 2.0.3. I'm sorry I had missed that as I had forgotten that one can check the subversion repository to see if there have been any updates.

The Subversion log says that mww@ first added it, and he just bumped
it to 2.0.3 (wait the obligatory 12 hours for PortIndex to be
updated). It still has no maintainer, though, presumably because
nobody who uses it actively has the time to keep track of any issues
with the port. If you feel that you'd like to do so, you are more
than welcome to adopt it by submitting a ticket on the MacPorts website.
Kind regards,
Maun Suang
