Comment (by contextnerror):

 The purpose of this ticket is that I am below Catalina and the issues are
 currently blocking me from updating and maintaining other ports. I didn't
 create it thoughtlessly—there have been other qt5 tickets that also been
 resolved without maintainer acknowledgement or intervention. Plus, there
 had been previous discussion on the mailing lists that the abandoned port
 procedures should probably be done more often. Since abandoned port
 tickets seem to have a better rate of response than standard tickets, I
 thought I would put out feelers to see if this is something I should be
 holding my breath over. You are correct that having the port be listed as
 unmaintained would not in itself fix anything, but it's not terribly
 different from status quo and would at least help set expectations.\\

 I am willing to try looking into fixing this myself, but my technical
 knowledge is limited and this seems out of my wheelhouse. That, and there
 being an existing listed maintainer made me assume I would be duplicating
 someone else's efforts.
