I'm not going to support this effort as part of the CVS ports tree
(for the usual reasons when this comes up every few months), but
there's nothing stopping you+your collaborators from maintaining your
own stable ports tree in your own repository and providing your own
support for it.  I think someone (kuriyama?) was in fact already
doing this, so getting the project started would not involve much
work.
