IMHO, yes, you have.

But I remember when we discussed the policy, the idea was to prevent
this number from growing:

  Number of ports with no maintainer: 4814 (18.4%)

Note that that number does not include group-maintained ports (e.g.
gnome@, perl@).  That's just ports@ per se.

My own opinion is that 4814 is way too many.  And, I don't buy the
argument that some have made that "unmaintained ports are better
maintained than some maintained ports".

My own personal belief, stated at the time when I was on portmgr,
was that unmaintained ports contributed to bitrot.

Obligatory disclaimer: I am no longer on portmgr.
