[Port Abandoned] postgresql15, postgresql15-server

[Klogic1]

unacknowledged ticket(s) - none

Port has not been updated for approximately six (6) months and is at PostgreSQL release version 15.0. The current PostgreSQL release version is 15.3. Contacted the maintainer by e-mail and received this response: “As it is, I myself haven’t updated the ports for a while now, but nobody has so far taken the maintenance as responsibility. Sorry for that :(“

The criteria for declaring the port abandoned haven't actually been met in this case, as there are no unhandled tickets and the maintainer is contactable. Of course if jwa wants to drop maintainership he is free to do so, and can push that commit himself. But it doesn't really help to remove the maintainer if there's no one else volunteering to take over. A maintainer with not enough time to devote to the port is generally considered better than no maintainer at all, and anyone else is still free to open pull requests. It would probably be helpful to add openmaintainer though.

I am uploading a patch for postgresql 15.4 so there is some maintenance going on here. Note that postgresql5-server doesn't actually use the postgresql code, it's just some MacPorts scaffolding around running postgresql as a daemon so it doesn't get updated for point releases. The regular postgresql15 port has been working fine and has been more or less maintained this whole time.

As a compromise maybe we can remove Jyrki Wahlstedt as the maintainer of the soon-to-be-released postgresql 16 when those portfiles are added.
