Hello Eric,

Most of ports I maintain are spoted by portscout but I also rely on gh
notifications and mailing subscriptions to get all ports covered.
But yes, I believe that some gh ports need portscout config.

I saw in your latest commits that you did portscout adjustments. For sure
that I will need to do the same.
It's on my TODO list now :)

Cheers,
