I'm very new to FreeBSD, but I've read through most of the documentation about being a port maintainer and it doesn't look too difficult. Howl doesn't have any ports that depend on it, and it hasn't changed in years so I doubt there will be a lot to do. I will send a PR to ask to be the maintainer this weekend. I'm currently running a VM of FreeBSD 8.2. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to switch my installation to follow 8-STABLE (I read that it's best to check your ports on the STABLE branches)?
