Dear maintainer,

The irc/inspircd12 port has a few problems.

- package name conflict with irc/inspircd port
- upstream unmaintained for 3 years
- two known security issues which I confirmed with an inspircd developer on IRC
today, linked below

https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd/commit/25ab5612f2ed8f0163c338740abd9f133af89356
https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd/commit/3ee7abb7b9127edd8b730602376a9e827afb95f6

Upstream has zero interest in ever backporting bugfixes or security
fixes again. Will you be maintaining this software or can we remove it from the ports tree?


Thanks
