Whether or not you decide to keep openmaintainer on the ports in question, it would be a good idea to make a note about this in a comment in the portfiles for those libraries so that anyone who decides to commit a change (openmaintainer/maintainer timeout/security update/mistake) is more likely to be aware of this. -- Daniel J.
