--- Comment #5 from John Marino <marino at FreeBSD.org> ---
why not:

1) because the premise of the request was he was hosting the distfile which is
not the case. 

2) Chris has picking up so many ports (including ports that require code
fixing) I'm personally starting to doubt he can maintain them all.

It was also a boilerplate request, I just scanned about saw about 10 other
nearly identical PRs.  I am skeptical that he actually uses all the ports he
says he does.  This one is pretty interesting but others are pretty obscure.

There's sort of a tug-of-war going on with Chris.  Obviously many ports are
worth saving, but there are many more ports that are very old and apparently
unused and people just want to die a natural death and Chris has been saving
those too (I think just for the sake of saving them, e.g. "who knows, somebody
might need this later)".

anyway, the main answer to your question is #1, the rest is just background.  I
assumed you wanted to maintain it at first for a reason.
