I expect the port-removal to be initiated/done in an orderly fashion. This=
=20
includes marking it FORBIDDEN (or IGNORE, or BROKEN):

 FORBIDDEN=3D Violates licensing requirements of the author

and:

 EXPIRATION_DATE=3D<<Some date a few months from now>>

This would give those people, whom you expect to submit patches, some time =
to,=20
actually, create them... Only if nothing materializes by the expiration dat=
e,=20
should the port be deleted.
