Here are the top ten most "popular" unmaintained ports from this
category, in case someone's looking for one to adopt:
"name" "popularity" "vitality"
"k3b" 754.12 120.91
"sg3_utils" 444.46 41.9
"LPRng" 303.65 5.13
"afio" 292.62 2.44
"anteater" 237.11 4.26
"bchunk" 215.97 2.71
"userinfo" 211.26 23.51
"ddrescue" 210.72 8.82
"cpuburn" 207.73 1
"cw" 207.28 11.25
k3b looks like an obvious choice.
I restricted my search to this category while hammering out my approach.
Now that I have my code proved out, I'm going to expand it to look at
all unmaintained ports regardless of category. Any suggestions for
where I should post the results? (That is, unless you think the
bitbucket is the only suitable place for it.)
