 That URL is for frequently asked questions about statistics; doesn't seem
 relevant to your question.

 You can't request somebody maintain something. People volunteer to
 maintain what they want to maintain.

 If a port does not exist, you can file a ticket requesting it, or if you
 want any other changes made to a port, you can file a ticket for that.
 However that relies on someone else volunteering to do the work.
 Alternately, you could submit a pull request with your suggested changes.

 We typically offer stable versions of software in MacPorts. Sometimes we
 offer a newer alpha, beta, RC, or development version in an accompanying
 -devel port. For example, the minivmac port offers the latest stable
 version while the minivmac-devel port offers the latest non-stable
 version. Sometimes we have multiple ports for different versions. For
 example, php74 and php80 are for stable versions 7.4 and 8.0 respectively
 while php81 currently offers the version 8.1 alpha. Decisions can be made
 on a case by case basis as to which one of those possibilities, if any, is
 employed.
