Er, that's not what Bryan said.  He said there should be a discussion on it.

And this definition of "maintainer" has never been mentioned before.
Should I reassign all PRs of unmaintained ports in bugzilla to portmgr?

What is the forward plan?

If you or edwin revert it, I will not start a commit war.  I'll respect
it and not deprecate again, but demand a decision be taken.  This is a
principle thing for me.
