portmgr is intending to remove all occurrences of 'Created by' from the tree
by the end of this quarter [1].

This is done to honor those that are actively maintaining the ports tree and
not those that were there before it was cool.

The ports tree is the product of all the contributors and committers
maintaining it currently. If you want your name reflected as contributor, then
MAINTAINER is what you need to be. No information is lost, as the original
creators are still present in the version control system.
