They are small, not so important ports, I don't think I deserve any medal, but that's what I can do. Perhaps in the future I'll have more time and skills to spare, but that's how it is now. I subscribed to that list exactly because I hope my ports don't show unexpected problems. I thought this would be a good idea, because I thought it would help me achieve this goal. Unfortunately, it does not: it does not save me time and efforts, but, on the contrary, it's been hindering me (by wasting time and resources). We are not discussing the goal, only the tools. If I get a mail regarding a port I maintain, I'll happily try and find some time to look into it. If I have to wade through gobs of mail which means very little to me, already a share of my time may be gone. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that list should be deleted; if it is useful to someone, fine, let them go for it. In my case, if I'll get more targeted mails, I'd have a bigger chance to look into them. Again, just my 2c. bye & Thanks av.
