WYRD in the openbsd ports tree

Hello. It looks like you were the ports maintainer for the package "wyrd" which is a curses based front end to the remind programming language, written in ocaml:
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/productivity/wyrd/

I think maybe wyrd was dropped because it was not maintained because the package was not maintained or updated in years (I think maybe the writer is retired).

However, the package is not dead:
https://dianne.skoll.ca/pipermail/remind-fans/2022/003955.html


The person who now maintains is uses linux and has pushed out packages for Debian and OpenSUSE, but declined my request to support it on OpenBSD.

I've tried to build it from source, but I don't seem to understand enough ocaml to do so. How do I request that it go back into the ports tree, and more importantly
that the binany is again included in my OpenBSD install?

Thanks very much,
Robert
