The macports-users list is the right place for this sort of question,
since it's not something that only the project managers can address.

No maintainer means precisely that - nobody is responsible for updating
the port. If you have an update that you would like applied, you can
open a ticket on Trac and attach the patch, and then any committer can
apply it for you. If you'd like to become the port's maintainer, that's
even better. ;-)
