+      <p>As of the end of Q4 the ports tree holds a bit more
+	than 25,000 ports, and the PR count is around 2,000.
+	The activity on the ports tree remains steady, with
+	about 7,000 commits performed by almost 120 active
+	committers.</p>
+
+      <p>On the problem reports front, figures show an
+	encouraging trend, with a significant increase in the
+	number of PRs fixed during Q4.  Indeed, almost 1,800
+	reports were fixed, which makes an increase of about
+	20% compared to Q3.</p>
+
+      <p>In Q4 8 commit bits were taken in for safekeeping,
+	following an inactivity period of more than 18 months
+	(lioux, lippe, simon, jhay, max, sumikawa, alexey, sperber).
+	Three new developers were granted a ports commit bit (Kenji
+	Takefu, Carlos Puga Medina, and Ian Lepore), and one
+	returning committer (miwi) had his commit bit reinstated.</p>
+
+      <p>Also related to the management of ports commit bits,
+	nox's grants were revoked, since the &os; developers
+	learnt that Juergen Lock passed away.</p>
+
+      <p>On the management side, no changes were made to the
+	portmgr team during Q4.</p>
+
+      <p>On QA side 33 exp-runs were performed to validate sensitive
+	updates or cleanups.  Amongst those noticeable changes are
+	the update to GCC 4.9, CMake to 3.4.1, PostgreSQL to 9.4, and
+	ruby-gems to 2.5.0.  Some infrastructure changes included the
+	usage of a WRKSRC different from WRKDIR when NO_WRKSUBDIR
+	is set, the removal of bsd.cpu.mk from sys.mk, and the
+	move of QT_NONSTANDARD to bsd.qt.mk.</p>

+	<p>We would like to remind everyone that the ports tree is
+	  built and run by volunteers, and any help is greatly
+	  appreciated.  While Q4 saw a significant increase in the
+	  number of problem reports fixed, we encourage all ports
+	  committers to have a look at the issues reported by our
+	  users and try to fix as many as possible.  Many thanks to
+	  all who made a contribution during Q4, and keep up the
+	  good work in 2016!</p>
