To put in my 2 cents, I think it is a great service. I don't have a problem with info about unmaintained ports being sent to the ports mailing list quite often. There are already many emails on the ports mailing list that don't interest me. So a few more is not going to be a problem. And if it causes people to update a few of the unmaintained ports, it is doing a great job. On the other hand, poutscout also seems to keep a web page, so maybe a once a month email, with a reminder about the web page, would also be helpful. Let me add that it has definitely helped me keep up to date with the ports I maintain. Whatever else it is, spam it is not.
