Guys, all these efforts to rescue the ports are all good, but: do we actually _need_ the ports? Just having one more port isn't a value in itself. And if yes, can someone step up to become maintainer of the port, meaning, upgrade it to new versions, sort FreeBSD bug reports and forward/file them with the upstream authors, and all that? Thanks. -- Matthias Andree ports committer
