Hi,
I dropped maintainership because I haven't actually used GNUstep or run
FreeBSD on machines with displays for a while, so I wasn't able to test
things well and didn't feel comfortable updating ports and claiming that
they worked. I am happy to help anyone who wants to update the ports.
I believe that they should still work. We test the runtime in CI on
FreeBSD, at least.
I believe there is a new upstream for libdispatch, but I've not tried it.
