What do you mean, what does it mean? :) It means the port is maintained by Simon Ruderich, as shown on the MacPortsDevelopers wiki page.

exif is maintained by Simon, so if you want to take it over, you should discuss that with him. libexif has no maintainer, and exif is openmaintainer, so we can feel free to update the ports. Both ports at 0.6.19 built fine for me so I committed the update and resolved the ticket. Not sure why you experienced a build error.
