Hi,
Alan has a personal repository at: http://www.mizrahi.com.ve/crux/pkgs

In Alan's personal repository I'm intrigued to see a port for em8300. They're tricky cards to get working properly, iirc. He has a few other ports that look interesting, but none which I've had the opportunity to try; they look like good ports. I quickly ran my validator scripts on his repo: http://sh.nu/p/2875
The number of missing footprints and md5sum is kinda worrying, even more so since this has been pointed out when he joined contrib back in january this year [1]. Other than that, it's great that Alan volunteered to take over KDE, and if you feel confident that he's up for the job I think we should make that happen :-).
If everyone is in accordance with Alan's nomination, then is it possible for him to soon get SVN access so that he can help out with adopting my ports from attic--when I sed the Maintainer and Packager lines and move the ports there later this month? Independent of who takes over the ports, would it maybe be a good idea to have KDE in an SVN/ports subdirectory on its own, to be able to recruit dedicated KDE maintainers? The same could be done for gnome, which is currently hosted by Matt privately.
I assume we could host that on crux.nu, labelled as official subproject, so it's not like those ports would lose any credit.
