Mistakes are one thing. But this was a change to a working port and the change broke a "normal install" of the port. So it seems a safe bet that the change was not tested adequately (maybe not at all). Being a "volunteer" should not be equated with being unaccountable. How to fix: revert until a proper fix is available. Putting such an important port in a broken state is not nice.
