A very large portion of those have @FreeBSD.org addresses listed as
MAINTAINER.  I don't think it's out of line to deprecate those first,
before the unmaintained ports.

Has a mass email gone out to every @FreeBSD.org person with at least one
unstaged port to set a near-term deadline to get the port staged?  I'm
happy to pull the trigger quickly but they should all be given a
specific "do it soon (by this date) or else" message so they have no
legs to stand on when it's complaining time.
