 ownership.

 You seemed to be in quite a hurry for the rewritten portfile to be
 committed, so I thought this deserved you maintainship. You'd be a much
 better maintainer of mkvtoolnix than I used to be.

 > But now that I am... How do I check for new versions (mainly for
 libmatroska and libebml if I were to maintain them), and what else do I
 need to know to do my job?

 You can use the livecheck feature.
 {{{
 $ sudo port livecheck libmatroska
 }}}

 This currently doesn't output anything because the port is up to date.

 You can also run it in verbose mode :
 {{{
 $ sudo port -dv livecheck libmatroska
 }}}

 There is also a syntax to run this for all the ports you maintain :
 {{{
 $ sudo port livecheck maintainer:il.fontys.nl:ruud
 }}}

 However, this doesn't work with mkvtoolnix because the default livecheck
 code isn't suitable (and the section you dropped with your rewrite doesn't
 work either as it referred to a web page that no longer exists).
