I was looking to install Samba and I can't find anything newer than 4.13 which is now in Security Fixes Only mode and Samba 4.12 is end of life. Shouldn't ports keep at least the latest 3 series (Current/Maintenance/Security)?
It appears, there's already some bug filed for implementing security related fixes. For the moment, net/samba412 and net/samba413 appear to be your only Samba options in port. Nothing newer for the moment.
At the end of the day, it's up to the port maintainer to bring it up to speed. In Samba's case, this might actually be quite some undertaking.
From a quick glance over the ticket, I see there's some patches but they might still appreciate additional help - whether it be testing, running poudriere on the patches or even bringing in your own patches for additional updates (of course, presuming you have the time and necessary skills).
