Because as you noted elsewhere, creating new ports is hard and the result i= s=20 rarely perfect on the first try. "Created by" is unfair because it ignores = =20 work of all contributors and maintainers that brought the port to its curre= nt=20 state. At this point, "Created by" is mostly a visual noise that doesn't carry any= =20 useful information. Especially after the transition to git as (most) commit= s=20 are now properly attributed by the --author flag. If you care about the por= t=20 history, it's just "git log -- path/to/Makefile" away. --=20 Dmitri Goutnik dg@syrec.org / dmgk@FreeBSD.org --+KlQWaMfXWzxAvnc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEElV1urwzdJVGXSG3dwZe2fOviDs0FAmLEUPUACgkQwZe2fOvi Ds04sg/+JiFFIc3kWZj+Gh5oVa5COSM8V9vpf3w8Ex3NPcoxvevN+wyIAeqr9Pz1 NwztWluQN8JL3Smp0BrmHHum+dsCXm2HERAf/VEsekri4H8o4CDqj45bKe8vH+d7 3Fkp2fovW4/wXvpKorHwe2iqmeDsJaRBgKIHkIflh+NTCrpjq1COCGvOrvvqHfEA P5dqucSHB35NLLysggDoXTs1dfoSz2mw+221BULH96RQpK7zatKVt6KQzeZZHxE7 uBXjnps25IUTBh2ozfbPZFlx47vweqz34LeA16p7MBT7+sxNAEW2gPHXFfjbH+CK RZk+EgXQgLspUusT7z1gVLJEMvZV6Uxi5NytpKEWT7OtH4z3Wk1V4TLX0TxCLwlK EA3aAfhFPo3/KbLir0EwT1yGg/varIWb0yR6bgbtQ0FZ/35SP/VHvKKXklUWR6IC F3/cESFOEUkVGrrPcxWG0wQGdWp3Jwisp6AJIJkrbfMIXWRu1nDy0S7mS2LaS17m NLa/xB66AYlkCny6fkL7c5plScsIIKHw0GagmBsac/+D0I8dJ3c/ZPoboHlqYJxs DKMZVLV6jlCEF5md/trvB3gJlgHa7hhvNr/b8yu02Ku0/CrKqXQMQYXRRsCOHQ8/ 9UsNPGFgyU6b10i/Q6gfWAEtIJCLL/YvFdv6rG0m1POtIbbyrCY= =C9fS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --+KlQWaMfXWzxAvnc--
