It is not BROKEN but as Doug pointed out, I felt that this port has passed the point of its usefulnes. With currently 4835 unmaintained ports in our tree I took a bit more aggressive aproach and marked it for deletion. If until then no one steps in, it will leave a reference in MOVED and can always be brought back. However, extending the expiration date to 3 months seems like a good idea, that way automated reminder mails (are there still mechanisms?) can reach a larger audience of possible interested people.
