Following an almost exactly one year old thread on ports@, here's
a patch to remove the recommandation that a person's name appears in the
pkg-descr file. The other patch lumps together that diff with another
change that puts a part of the "Note:" just above in the main text.
The original thread:

You don't know, man. You don't KNOW.
