    Yesterday I tried installing a port and found that it was broken though
    not marked as such. The problems were simple -- simple enough that *I* got
    it working! -- and I emailed the listed port maintainer with what I have
    found.

    Now, I haven't heard back, but I am not jumping to conclusions because of
    the holidays. But out of curiosity, if the port is in fact orphaned, what
    happens? Who is the next person to contact?

    I have been using FreeBSD for a while but I really don't have a good grasp
    of the "big picture." I want to be a good citizen though. :) Comments?
