I'm not requesting/maintaing more than I can manage.
Should I find my list growing beyond my ability to give them the
attention they deserve/require, I can/will give them back to ports@ :)

In going through the list, I found ports that while *seemingly*
somewhat obscure, appeared to have value. To *me* anyway.

Downloads from my site (thus far) indicate [a] reasonable amount
usage.

I have no desire to take a port from anyone that is a Maintainer. But
after a bit of investigation, those that I substituted myself for,
appeared to have been using distcache for some time -- often for more than
a year.
As to "boilerplate"; I had only a small window to work from the day I
investigated those ports, so recycled much of the dialog, in an effort
to do the necessary preliminary work, for them (save time).

All the best.
