the state of osxfuse

Hi everyone,
The osxfuse ports and its dependents are in a pretty sad state right
now. I don't know what to do with them -- and I don't have the time to
fix it anyway (I've dropped maintainership). But I thought I'd post
about it here in hopes that someone else can take it up.
There are three serious problems:
1) the port's version is outdated and doesn't build on that latest
macOS
2) the upstream developer has taken the project closed-source, so
later versions aren't available except in binary format
3) building a working kernel module is increasingly hard given
code-signing and notarization requirement.
The answer to these presumably involves building a new portfile to
install the binary package rather than building from source - given
(3), we have already been doing this with the kernel module for a
while.
