RFC : Add ports "status update" page to the FreeBSD wiki

Hello doc'ers,
	Before going and making a change to the Wiki, I was wondering whether  
or not folks would be receptive to adding a "meta-page" to track ports  
updates for larger / fairly dependent packages, such as Perl, Python,  
KDE, Gnome, X.org, etc for purposes of reducing long email threads  
with little benefit, like the following:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2008-July/049609.html
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2008-July/049616.html

	(Both are from the same mail thread, but just were filed differently  
in mailman).
	The issue is that sometimes ports progress can go 'unpublicized' for  
some time and people aren't aware of why port(s) x-y-z hasn't/haven't  
been updated yet, even though it's/they have been 'stable' (in this  
case Perl) for months.
Thanks,
-Garrett
