How does "might no longer be" justifies removing *all* of them, without the
consent of those people?  How am I supposed to record port creators now?
Or do you propose polluting every port with some "created-by" file instead?
How is it better than simple Makefile comment?  (inb4 "this information is
in git": no one would be digging the repo for that, it should be clearly
displayed in the working copy somewhere.)
