It [porters handbook] is actually part of the doc tree, created to
be the authority on working with ports ;)  Just like the FDP Primer
is the authority on documentation, and the committers-guide being
the authority on dealing with disputed commits.

Even though the ports committers may have a knowledgeable domain,
its pretty much our job to upkeep the document.  A few people (kris
comes to mind) will commit or have a user commit changes to it
(usually after our review).

Hope thats the answer you were looking for ;)
