Since you'd rather sweep this under the rug by closing the PR and
assuming I'm an idiot, I suggest you look a little more deeply into the
wmakerconf package.  A grep for "Hermes" on every file in my
/usr/pkgsrc/wm directory yiedled the following output:

Just because WindowMaker doesn't require Hermes, doesn't mean that
Hermes was correctly removed from pkgsrc.  I suggest that if you want to
be a pkgsrc maintainer, you take these PRs a little more seriously.
