What's the point of the last line of the commit message?  Deprecation is
not about how hard a port is to fix.  It's obviously that a large number
of ports were identified as by some characteristic and all deprecated
without examining the ports in detail.

You found this port.  You added stage support.  You removed the
deprecation.  That's what is supposed to happen.  Had you done none of
those things, the port would eventually be removed, which is fine -- it
means nobody cared enough about it.

By the way, you didn't address the stated reason it was deprecated: It
has no maintainer and hasn't had one in 12 years.  (still true)
