I cannot answer about whether anyone else is working on this, but new
contributors are always welcome and greatly appreciated.

Apart from updating the port itself we also need to increase the
revision of all the ports depending on OpenSSH (and ideally check
whether they still build after the update).
(Updating the dependencies may be done in a separate commit, but it
needs to be taken care of.)

As the first approximation you could get the list of dependent ports here:
    https://ports.macports.org/port/openssh/
(The list may not be 100% accurate, so another grep for openssh inside
the ports tree may not hurt.)

On the website you can also check the list of open tickets:
    https://ports.macports.org/port/openssh/tickets
We are not asking you to address any of those, but sometimes an update
resolves an issue, or there's already an update request in the trac
that can be closed.
