      Porting some new software takes time. Maintaining it over time is harder.
      It is quite okay to port software, and let other people handle it
      afterwards. It is also okay to help other people update and maintain
      other ports, as long as you communicate to avoid doing the same things
      twice.

      In the OpenBSD culture, <code>MAINTAINER</code>ship is not a status item,
      but a responsibility.  We have CVS and comments to give credit to the
      person who did the work.  A port <code>MAINTAINER</code> is something else:
      a person who assumes responsibility for the working of the port, and is
      willing to spend some time ensuring it works as best as can be.
