Technically, it does not need to be a discussion. Maintaining the VuXML
database is ports-secteam's job, it's in their charter.

Now, ports-secteam has no members, so nobody is maintaining the VuXML
database.

Ports committers can update it, but they have absolutely no obligation
to, it's on a best effort basis.

If anyone want to join ports-secteam, I am sure it can be arranged.
