I'll help.  (I guess I'll have to do some research so I can figure out
how to update the Debian website)

I'd like to see a manual for people doing the porting projects as
well.

I don't believe the 'java' port exists.  There is a mailing list for
coordinating Java packages on Debian - perhaps that is the source of the
confusion.

The hurd project is definitely a port.  So is the cygwin port I intend
to get started on in a few weeks (but it's too early to make a webpage
for that yet).

Here is the current Debian GNU/Hurd webpage:
