So the question is: should we leave unmaintained the way it is, losing potential updates, or should we define some basic rules on creating patches?
In short: I would prefer the $TIME method. But $TIME should be at least a few months. And after $TIME without modifications the tags should be removed so it is deleted from unmaintained. The maintainers can still access it, but unmaintained has not the look of hundreds of outdated, rotten ports.
Have a nice weekend. Martin
I think that when (if at all) this is done, the port should be added to some kind of a web page so that people who never even knew about it, might be able to update it so it can stay another few months. After all, isn't the whole point of unmaintained for ports that aren't actively maintained?
