git diff for MAINTAINER reclamation

The attached git diff (patch) returns MAINTAINER to me
after a sweeping commit (mistakenly) removed me.

CHANGES
 * MAINTAINER
 * DEPRECIATED (in a few cases)

As to the removal of DEPRECIATED in a few cases:
These ports continue to work as intended. In spite of their
projects (in)activity. :)

Thanks!

(In reply to Daniel Engberg from comment #1)
Right. I'm not ignoring that.
Comment 3 Chris Hutchinson 2024-01-25 23:25:29 UTC 
(In reply to Chris Hutchinson from comment #2)
To be more concise; I did *not* add myself nor remove depreciated
from all the ports affected by your sweeping commit. Just those
that still appeared active, and still worked effectively and as intended. :)
Comment 4 Koichiro Iwao freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-01-26 00:06:45 UTC 
I think that this kind of update doesn't require PORTREVISION bump.
Comment 5 Chris Hutchinson 2024-01-26 00:43:17 UTC 
(In reply to Koichiro Iwao from comment #4)
Sorry. I think you're right. I'm not always sure when
to do it. I'll submit a new patch w/o PORTREVISION changes
shortly.

Thanks!

Comment 7 Koichiro Iwao freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-01-26 02:14:03 UTC 
IMO, it is fine to keep ports in the tree if the port has a maintainer still willing to maintain them and they're working effectively.

    */*: reassign ports to maintainer

    that were returned to pool due to BSDforge.com unavailability (5 days).
    Also, remove DEPRECATED from some ports as they have a maintainer and
    he is still willing to maintain.

Thanks!
Comment 11 Koichiro Iwao freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-01-26 08:41:31 UTC 
I reverted un-deprecate part of your patch as per request of other committer but I keep MAINTAINER reassignment. MAINTAINER was reset to ports@ due to accidental domain unavailability but I think the former maintainer is eligible to re-grab maintainership after domain resurrection.

(In reply to Koichiro Iwao from comment #11)
I greatly appreciate you're efforts and perspective here, Koichiro.
Thanks!
