"He" is a mailing list. ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade/Makefile Revision 1.256 Tue Jul 21 13:12:15 2009 PDT (15 months, 2 weeks ago) by sem Log: - Drop maintainership to ruby@ Beyond this point virtually no development has happened. The sourceforge project hasn't been updated since around that time and there are open PRs over two years old. Unfortuantely, FreeBSD has a lot of these niche mailing lists that virtually nobody reads but have PRs auto-assigned to them, effectively acting as a black hole. freebsd-rc is one of the worst offenders - other than Doug Barton, there don't seem to be any developers involved there and it has a massive buildup of unreviewed patches. So I would say portupgrade is unmaintained and thus encourage people to move to portmaster. -- Rob Farmer
