-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 At any given time, approximately 20 - 25% of all ports are unmaintained. Not all unmaintained ports need updating, but some do. That is where you folks come in. I have summarised some details at the wiki about Adopting Ports, http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsTasks#head-f018f566bce2ff96ec13fabd536d7cc6dc6f4275. In the last Maintainer Roundup, we passed off ports to those who replied to the list with their request. This practise will not be continued. It is important for maintainers to learn the process of submitting a PR to update their port. Now check out the portscout for unmaintained ports, http://www.portscout.org/ports@freebsd.org.html, and see what you you can do up adopt and update one of these unloved, uncared for ports! The challenge has been made, it is up to you folks to rise up to it!
