We have many. We have around 41 maintainers [1] with @macports.org email addresses (all of these are committers) handling about 1013 ports [2], and another approx. 282 maintainers [3] at other domains (most of which are not commiters) handling about 882 ports [4]. About 2116 ports [5] are unmaintained. There is some overlap in these categories as some ports have multiple maintainers. [1] cat */*/Portfile | sed -n -E 's/^maintainers[[:space:]]+//p' | xargs -n 1 echo | grep @macports.org | grep -v -E '(no|open) maintainer@macports.org' | sort -f | uniq -c | wc -l [2] cat */*/Portfile | sed -n -E 's/^maintainers[[:space:]]+//p' | xargs -n 1 echo | grep @macports.org | grep -v -E '(no|open) maintainer@macports.org' | wc -l [3] cat */*/Portfile | sed -n -E 's/^maintainers[[:space:]]+//p' | xargs -n 1 echo | grep -v ^$ | grep -v @macports.org | sort -f | uniq -c | wc -l [4] cat */*/Portfile | sed -n -E 's/^maintainers[[:space:]]+//p' | xargs -n 1 echo | grep -v ^$ | grep -v @macports.org | wc -l [5] port echo maintainer:nomaintainer@macports.org | wc -l These counts are also not entirely accurate because some maintainers have not decided on a single email address to use. These people (arsptr, bfulgham, denis.defreyne, deric, erickt, fenner, landonf, marius, mas, pkern, ramercer, warp-darwinports/warp-opendarwin) should verify whether they are using the same email address in all of their ports. I see one maintainer has already taken measures to obfuscate his email address in python/py-biggles/Portfile (though not, I see, in the other ports he maintains).
