I think people would also appreciate more clear criteria on when to mark
port as deprecated.  For now the only one I know is "being broken and
unmaintained for 6-12 months".  Availability of distfile and master site
does not seem enough.  Unpatched security issue, on contrary, could
encourage deprecation with shorter expiration period.
