[TIP] Outdated ports can be looked up by maintainer through Repology

There is a way to find outdated ports for specific maintainers by 
running a query like this:

https://repology.org/projects/?search=&maintainer=ports@FreeBSD.org&inrepo=freebsd&outdated=on 


(replace the e-mail with maintainer's e-mail)


It compares FreeBSD port versions to other distros and shows, with some 
false positives, if the same package is more updated in other distros.


This is in addition to the Portscout query 
https://portscout.freebsd.org/ports@freebsd.org.html that returns 
results based on its attempts to discover new versions by version guessing.
