--- Comment #11 from James Elstone <james at elstone.net> ---
Hi Craig,

I can understand your desire to "keep" the port, but I want to actively enhance
the experience of users of Arduino on FreeBSD for the benefit of the whole
community.

I though that the Maintainer had timed out as you had not responded to the QA
request or made any comment on the issues and fixes supplied for over a year. 
While you want to be the Maintainer for this port, I could not see any recent
activity on it from you.

I based my approach on the documentation based in the Porters Handbook:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#makefile-maintainer
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/ports-contributing.html#maintain-port

Can you provide some insight as to why the port maintainer cannot be changed to
someone actively willing to perform the role?  I am not saying my approach is
correct, just want to understand your reasoning to be Maintainer (of which I
may have failed to understand).

If acceptable, please feel free to take my work, alter it and resubmit the
patch, as I would really like to see the situation improved for all.

Kr,

James
