But found it _more_ than difficult to discover how to inform the fBSD port(s) system of it's new, *un*orphaned status. I read through the online doc's about it. But got dizzy with the circularness of it. Searching led to no _difinative_ answer(s) either. Is it still send pr just to update it's status? Couldn't there be an online form to change ownership/ stewardship? I *can* comprehend the send pr system. I simply can't understand how to change/ update ownership/ stewardship. Perhaps this is why so many of the orphaned ports remain in this state.Open a PR and simply set MAINTAINER to your own address. Use category 'ports' and and class 'change-request'.
Will do. Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. --Chris H.
