            Bug ID: 231870
           Summary: ports-mgmt/portint: Bogus warnings about extra items
                    placed in the USES/USE_x section
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: tobik at freebsd.org

With something like (see editors/ghostwriter for an example port)

USES=           ...
USE_GITHUB=     yes
GH_ACCOUNT=     blabla

portlint -AC wrongly complains

    WARN: Makefile: extra item placed in the USES/USE_x section, for example,
"GH_ACCOUNT".
    0 fatal errors and 1 warning found.

This is contrary to what's suggested in the Porter's Handbook [1]
where it says

    Keep related variables close together.  For example, if using
    USE_GITHUB, always put the GH_* variables right after it.

Also see the example Makefile at [2].
