Seconded! Ports without an identified maintainer are not "unmaintained".

E.g. the ports net/mpich and net/openmpi* are maintained by
ports@freebsd.org and I regularly maintain them: of course I could claim
their maintainership, by I don’t, because these are quiet complex ports,
and if other people need to modify them when I’m not available to review
their changes, I don’t want to block them.
