What exactly are you looking at ?

Git Pull requests can be viewed at

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pulls <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pulls>

and there are certainly examples of both new ports and updates to existing ones.

In what manner did you ‘advise the port maintainer’. Sending a mail to this list is not the way. To do so either submit a pull request with the update yourself, or file a ticket in trac requesting an update.

https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets <https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

Pull requests are more likely to get acted on quicker. For a guide to that see for instance
