Even if nobody is currently volunteering to explicitly state that they are
working on the port as a whole (which has always been a fairly vague concept
anyway), the software is generally working fine (yes, even if it has bugs),
the buildds are happily churning (and are actually actively maintained),
new users do actually regularly come through, so I fail to see how it's
a disservice to everyone.

What is that statement supposed to mean, anyway? Would you prefer if
the port didn't exist at all?
