I don't know where things stand today, but a couple years ago when I tried to help out, nobody was maintaining the VLC port in MacPorts, and it had aged quite a bit.  The VLC build system was an utter hack, and the Portfile that was managing it was equally repugnant.  I spent quite a bit of time getting us up to a modern version of VLC and also created the VLC-devel port to track upstream development versions in hopes of finding issues *before* they released them.

I got things into a decent state for us and reported bugs upstream to help them improve things for other distributions.  After multiple disagreements, I decided to just give up trying to help upstream.
