I'd gladly volunteer to take some. I think that it would make sense
to assign the ports by priority: Important ones first. However, as
I'm relatively new to MacPorts I don't know which ports are
considered to be important (or very popular). Any suggestions? How
would I go about "adopting" an unmaintained port?
Simply indicate your desire and a committer such as me can change the
maintainer address in the port to yours. If you have an update to a
port, even an unmaintained or openmaintainer one, attach a diff to a
ticket and notify the list and someone will review and commit it.
