* The script uses ports@freebsd.org when there's no MAINTAINER line in * the Makefile. However, 109 ports have MAINTAINER=ports@freebsd.org * lines in their Makefiles. I guess this is because there's no clear * policy on what to do about MAINTAINER-less ports. The policy is clear (as stated in the handbook), set MAINTAINER to "ports@freebsd.org" if the porter doesn't want to be the maintainer. Whether that makes sense or not, is of course debatable. ;) Satoshi
