have you also considered another direction? That you do not delete this 
line, but if several people were involved in the creation, to include 
them? One must not insert completely name and email address, but only 
the name.

I do not find so beautiful, if this line is deleted. You could also 
always see that many people who are no longer active have created many 
of these ports in the past, such as Martin "Miwi" Wilke.


Furthermore I think it would be good that portmgr thinks about how many 
ports one person should take care of.
