OK. done. I've reset the maintainer of dvdauthor and kino, so that these
two are up for grabs.

There was an independent request by C. P. Ghost (cc'ed) to upgrade this
dvdauthor port to a newer version.

I have no interest to handle the actual ports upgrade, is either of you
willing to take it?  Someone else?

Documentation about port upgrades is at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ and
we're happy to help new port maintainers answering questions and giving
advice.

Thanks,
Matthias
