The latest version of FileZilla fails to build on my Catalina system and the 
developer states, it requires the latest BigSur SDK to compile (though the 
final binary should be running on macOS 10.11 and newer):
https://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/12358

If I understand that correctly, MacPorts will only be able to build the 
software on BigSur, right? Since I am not yet on BigSur and do not intend to go 
there anytime soon, how to best approach this kind of issue? 

- I could drop maintainership and hope for someone running BigSur to pick it up.
- I could patch the source and try to revert any use of the latest code changes 
that now require SDK 11. 
- I could just ignore updates form now on and MacPorts stays on the current 
version forever. 
- I could turn this into a (partially) binary port ;-)

Any suggestions? Is there any simple solution I'm overlooking?
