This is the MacPorts Guide’s description[*] of the openmaintainer policy:

	If a port's maintainer contains the address
	<!openmaintainer at macports.org>, this means that the author
	allows minor updates to the port without contacting him first.
	But permission should still be sought for major changes.

While limited in scope, your changes are anything but minor (the patch
is 181 lines!), and committing them would clearly violate the spirit of
the openmaintainer guideline.

You’d be better off invoking the 72-hour maintainer timeout policy.
