That you do not delete this line, but if several people were involved in the creation, to include them? One must not insert completely name and email address, but only the name. I do not find so beautiful, if this line is deleted. You could also always see that many people who are no longer active have created many of these ports in the past, such as Martin "Miwi" Wilke. Furthermore I think it would be good that portmgr thinks about how many ports one person should take care of. Cheers Jochen
