It does not matter.  I've created this port and committed it originally,
I've invested my time and maintained it for a while.  Even if you decide
to throw any of that work (which would be kind of rude on its own, as it
was good work), the line should stay.

Exactly right.  We even try to retain it when deleted port is brought
back from the attic.  FreeBSD had traditionally been very careful with
handling author attribution; please do not break this tradition Charlie.
