An update every 18-24 months would have been fine, even if there were only minor bug fixes. I was pointing out that the interval between releases was 8 years. That's enough time for compilers to change and generate new warnings, and various other things, so not having a release in 8 years is a clue that on one is home upsteram. In the case of spamass-milter, there were various patches accumulating in pkgsrc, and it seemed no one was home upstream, until someone stepped up to apply patches and make a new release.
