Hi Gabriel, thanks for replying. Sorry if I worried you; indeed I am just a non-MacPorts-member doing minor improvements on easier-to-maintain ports (like abcde) and going through stale tickets on Trac in my free time as it were.

I’m glad to hear you’re still/once again interested in this port. I wouldn’t mind at all co-maintaining it, however I do not use abcde actively, so if you still use it actively then I would be more comfortable with you remaining the primary maintainer. I’ll try updating the port to 2.9.3 soon and add myself as a co-maintainer. Do you have a GitHub account? If so, MacPorts would like to add your handle to the Portfile.
