Ports maintainer or adopting a port

[Kimi Ostro]

Hello list

Not sure if this is appropriate for this list, basically I am looking
to hear from past, current and future ports maintainers:

is it fun? what are the requirements? (besides time) what does it mean
to you? do you recommend it? best way to get started? what do I need
to know about FreeBSD & Ports?

I am looking at adopting a port or two and looking to gain more
insight, maybe someone that can do projects page for ports? which
holds a list of unmaintained ports??
