According to this web page:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-maintainer.html

it seems to me that you now have the right to have your changes 
committed without the maintainer's approval.

Which PR was this?

I understand your frustration because I have been through similar 
experiences.  But recently I have been added as a committer.  Since I 
empathize with you, I'll look into this and see what can be done.
