You sort of answered what I meant.  It was just a first name, so I had no idea how to contact that person.  Most ports that have not seen action in a while, not that this was the case, I did not look at the history, have an email address where I can contact.

I had no idea where to go to contact the maintainer, because it was just a first name.  Or is it that when you run `port info` on it, it will expand the name out to the email address?

What does it mean when it had a name and the openmaintainer[@]macports.org address simultaneously?

> 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.

They did for me after a selfupdate and getting the new versions, so perhaps it was the version that did not want to build on 10.6.  

Thanks Ryan.
