Dear port committers,
I understand that infofarmer@ and miwi@ have no more enough free
time to be hyper-active about those and other ports (and btw, thanks
very much for the huge work you did in the past!), but is out there
anyone else out there with both a commit bit and some time on hand to
give a bit of love to the XPI ports?
Maybe it's just my impression, but it seems they've got some bitrot, and
I feel a little pity for them, both as an user and a maintainer. ;)
For those which might be interested, a quick list of the ones that need
some attention (that I own or I could find as open with PR queries):

infrastructure, the rest is mostly updates.
yours truly,
