I sent a reply to this (but accidentally neglected to CC ports@openbsd.org), in 
which I claimed the e-mail I was replying to was CCing the ports list. It seems 
I extrapolated that CC was on given the original e-mail gave me permission to 
respond in private but did not ask for it. I apologise.

Replying publicly to a mail sent in private isn't considered good
practice. ;)

Hi! :)

Thanks a lot, I'll be happy to be able to count on your help. I'm happy to 
assist with the sbcl port but it's probably something well beyond my current 
skill level. I'll be happy to see a multithreaded sbcl run on OpenBSD once 
again! stumpwm would be lovely as well.

I too have thought about ports and packages for Common Lisp libraries but it 
would need to be carefully designed so that messes like that of Debian don't 
happen in OpenBSD. Quicklisp makes things much easier. There's also cl-launch, 
which some consider to be incredibly useful. It's certainly something to 
consider.

Regards.

You can't require to take the maintainership of a port without prior
work on it.  Wait until the new version, update the port, add your name
to MAINTAINER and send the diff to the list. If nobody complains, you
could get the maintainership.
