Éloi,

I've created a py-sshpubkeys port for you that I'm QA testing now. It 
requires the security/py-ecdsa port being updated to its latest version 
(0.13.2), which needs to be approved by the maintainer before the 
sshpubkeys port can land.

Would you like to be maintainer of security/py-sshpubkeys? I'm happy to 
help familiarise you with porting and help you get ramped up.

Same offer is open to anyone else who'd like to get more involved with 
Python package (or anything else) porting. /join #freebsd-ports freenode
