How to escalate? ports/159276

[igor]

Dear all,

How can I escalate the issue related to one of the ports?
It seems that the comitter who introduced the problem with a patch 
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/cmake/files/patch-Modules_Compiler_GNU.cmake?rev=1.1) 
to the port does not want to do anything with it. There is a PR open 
(159276).
Cmake is widely used in the company I am working for, and now as a 
FreeBSD user I get cmake that is different from everyone else's, because 
my default Debug and Release build have empty CFLAGS. Now I have to 
manually fix these flags back each time I reconfigure my build 
directories.
