Hi Tobias,

I have to raise issue with the COMMENT and descr of these ports.

Aside from its' not being a word in the English language, these
websites all redirect to https, and contain absolutely nothing.
about.merelab.io: "About me, mere!!!", utils.merelab.io: "Utils" etc.

COMMENT= About me, mere!
While I appreciate that upstream is amused by that phrase, it says
nothing to end-users.

Between COMMENT, the website, and the GH pages all containing no
information whatsoever, I have concerns about whether these programs
belong in the ports tree.
