Anyone maintaining a port is most definitely a contributor and should
be listed.

The port Makefile headers are absolutely meaningless.  I have no idea
why they even exist, though ports people insist on keeping it.  They
provide no information which is not available in the Makefile itself
or in CVS history.  The Whom: line is often directly misleading as it
is never updated, even in the case where the new maintainer has
completely rewritten the Makefile so that the only thing left from the
original is the header and the PORTNAME line.
