There are two possibilities I propose to change this line a) Just drop it. Ports that don't define a MAINTAINER are broken and this just masks it b) Change to a different "global" email address (badmaintainer@freebsd.org) which may avoid breakage in some pointhat scripts but would not mask the errors (and ports with a maintainer of badmaintainer@ could be found easily. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
