Jordan, While I agree that 10,000 ports will be a truly great benchmark, I don't agree 100% with a prize for the top 3 contributors from 7000 -> 10000. Doing so forgets us "little people" who watch bento, and make submissions to update broken ports. 10,000 ports sounds great, unless 1/3 of them don't work :-) True, adding a new port is more tedious than just updating a few files to get the latest version, or updating the MASTER_SITES= with the latest homepage/download page. However this is a community effort. I do like the idea of rewarding the top 3 (or whatever number) contributors.. but I think it should be on a broader scale. Before anyone accuses me of whining, I already know that I'd never make the top 3 for either category. I'd probably not even be in the top 300.
