It won't be me (sadly enough I lack the experience and/or knowledge)

I *DO* hope however that the horde port will be supported in the future.
Personally I *never* had any trouble upgrading horde. I *DID* have to
read the documentation though! It is always needed with horde. But,
hey, given good docs, that's not too bad, is it?
Even the latest changes (from 3.0x to 3.1.x) went very very smoothly. I
just followed the upgrade path (/usr/ports/UPGRADING plus the upgrading
info from the horde package itself.
Putting back *.previous files also is not that bad. I can live with it.
So, I'd like to thank you for all the good work and hope you'd
reconsider maintainership.
