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.
