Isn't that a bit overkill?  Ports that have security issues are marked
FORBIDDEN so users can't install them.  If people want extra securirty
they can use portaudit which checks the vuxml databases automatically.

I also think it would be very hard to check vuxml manually in many
cases, since ports can have a lot of dependencies, which might also
contain security problems.
