I didn't say anything about *this* port being malicious; my point
was two-fold:

  1) by adding port to the collection, we as committers should try
     to provide a well-cooked product: buildable, working, and also
     properly documented.  Sometimes it is easy when upstream offers
     good substrate so all we have to do is package those bits, but
     sometimes it is not.  Lack of proper documentation, including
     port description, while not as bad as unbuildable or unrunnable
     package, is still pretty bad;
  2) having "I can't bother beyond handling a simple add request"
     attitude in general is bad because malicious port or changes
     *could* be inserted, and thus we should not get into habit of
     cutting corners and committing whatever was put up on Bugzilla
     without sufficient review.
