Is there someone who wants to help me here?

I'm too busy to review or help what you'r up to, sorry, but if your
changes are the way FreeBSD is going, I have hardware that uses these:
/usr/ports/comms/gnokii MAINTAINER=mad@xxxxxxxxxxxx
/usr/ports/misc/estic Port by me, MAINTAINER=dinoex@xxxxxxxxxxx
/usr/ports/sysutils/nut MAINTAINER=Joerg.Pulz@xxxxxxxxxxx
& if necessary ? I'll be able to test diffs occasionaly when necessary.
(Hosts here run releasess & stable, but I could put up current when needed).

Loads of people presumably similarly rely on serial port coms to
various obscure Non PC hardware, Sometimes ports MAINTAINER= wont
have hardware to test with (eg in case of misc/estic I think).
Perhaps ports Makefiles might benefit from another variable with
email of hardware tester[s] ? (thus cc'd suggestion to
portsmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx)
