Thanks for doing this and as you mention, this should be cleaned up as
those ports won't be in INDEX, readme, build packages, etc.  As Eitan
mentioned, there are several valid reasons for this, usually as a
temporary measure though.  Those ports are also mentioned in the logs on
pointyhat and occassionally someone from portmgr contacts the
maintainers, but if you have some code available I'd be happy to set
this up as a weekly reminder to maintainers.
