+      <p>The Ports Collection now features over 31,600 ports. There are currently
+	2671 problem reports, of which 718 are unassigned. This quarter saw
+	almost 5,900 commits from 175 committers. The number of open PRs grew
+	compared to last quarter, and outpaced the number of changes.</p>
+
+      <p>This quarter, we welcomed Zach Leslie (zleslie@), Luca Pizzamiglio
+	(pizzamig@), Craig Leres (leres@), Adriaan de Groot (adridg@), and Dave
+	Cottlehuber (dch@) as new committers. The commit bits of the following
+	committers were taken in for safekeeping: alonso@ after 19 months of
+	inactivity, rpaulo@ per his request, and ache@ after he passed away.
+	Despite several tries and changing mentors, kami@ lacked interest in
+	completing his mentorship, so his commit bit was also taken in for
+	safekeeping.</p>
+
+      <p>On the infrastructure side, two <tt>USES</tt> values were
+	removed because they outlived their usefulness:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li><tt>execinfo</tt>: <tt>libexecinfo</tt> is now available in the
+	  base system of all supported &os; versions</li>
+
+	<li><tt>twisted</tt>: there is only one Twisted port left</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>The default version of GCC was bumped from 5 to 6. Firefox was updated
+	to version 56.0 and Chromium to version 61.0.3163.100. The version of
+	<tt>pkg</tt> itself was updated to 1.10.1.</p>
+
+      <p>During this quarter, antoine@ performed 28 exp-runs to test version
+	updates of major ports, improving <tt>USE_GITHUB</tt> and
+	<tt>SHEBANG_FILES</tt>, and API changes to the base system.
+	This quarter, the foundations for ports "flavors" were
+	committed, though more development and testing will be
+	performed in the coming quarter before it goes live.</p>
