Subject:   Adopting porttools upstream?

Hi there,

sergei@'s commit bit was taken into safekeeping years ago and porttool's
project in SourceForge [1] has not seen any CVS commit for a long time
as well.

[1] https://sourceforge.net/projects/porttools

Meanwhile, we've been patching ports-mgmt/porttools to keep up with our
infrastructure changes and whatnot.

I was thinking of integrating those fixes upstream and continuing the
development somewhere else. skreuzer@ seems to have a fork on GitHub [2]
with no previous history and some commits on top.

I, for one, ran devel/cvs2svn on the existing CVS history and converted
it to git. The result looks OK and can be see in [3].

[3] https://github.com/rakuco/porttools

I'm not terribly interested in becoming porttools' upstream myself, but
if others fail to jump aboard that could end up happening.

Thoughts?
