>Description:
Take maintainership of audio/timidity because I use it. And this shouldn't be too difficult because there are no more new versions of this port.
Also, take this opportunity to update pkg-descr and COMMENT to look nicer. The package description now better explains the package and why it's stuck at version 0.2i.
I was considering re-creating the patch files because they're not done the same way `make makepatch` would do it, but I decided against it because it'd just create more slosh. Please ask for a followup if fixing that would be beneficial.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Apply the attached patch (generated by running `svn diff`).

-TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter using Gravis Ultra-

-data from General MIDI files. The data can be stored in a
-file for processing, or played in real time through an
-audio device.
+TiMidity is a software synthesizer. It can play MIDI files by converting them
+into PCM waveform data; give it a MIDI data along with digital instrument data
+files, then it synthesizes them in real-time, and plays. It can not only play
+sounds, but also can save the generated waveforms into hard disks as various
+audio file formats.
+TiMidity 0.2i was written by Tuukka Toivonen <tt at cgs.fi> in 1995. No new version
+of this project has been released since then. Development has been continued by
+Masanao Izumo et al. in the new project named TiMidity++ (audio/timidity++).
