Well, there already is a net-mgmt/netdisco/ port for 1.3.3 -- why
the change to p5-App-Netdisco ? Is netdisco2 an upgrade for netdisco ?

If yes, why not use the same port ? net-mgmt/netdisco ?

Put the links to the download-URLs into the PR.

I would not mind the format, as long as it's not exotic,
but there seems no real consensus on the format.

Can you provide a build/run dependency ?

See above.
