--- Comment #3 from Bryan Drewery <bdrewery at FreeBSD.org> ---
If you use boxbackup then it's simpler than you may think. When new versions
are available you just need to update the PORTVERSION, run make makesum, and
submit a PR to get the updated port committed. Being a boxbackup user will
allow you to work with feedback better, but it's not a requirement to be a user
of the port to maintain it.

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/ has all of the
information you need.

If you ever have questions ports@ or #bsdports on EFNet IRC can help.

Maybe you could give it a try? Given the last release was a few years ago it is
likely not going to require much attention. It's just that if I re-add it
without a maintainer someone else will come along and remove it again. It's our
policy to have someone adopt the port to help the workload.
