True when is Upstream alive and not Port have one maintainer, then is good to
have these Ports.

Not all Ports must have one maintainer. Please not so simple deprecate good Port.

When is games@ team full released all ports@ games is good to move to games at .
No problem for all to update this only to sent one email and get approval

This is good for all other team@


I have already adopted more ports@ mostly games but to others


Have just checked all deprecated games Ports

This Ports have Upstream which is alive

games/crossfire-server

games/tinymux



This are old good cult games and needed

games/sokoban

games/xbattle

games/xkoules

games/xvier



Have too checked graphics

These Ports have Upstream which is alive

graphics/maverik

a bit older

graphics/xmorph


This is old one from libpng

graphics/tiff2png


This are old one, but someone perhaps need it

graphics/claraocr

graphics/dc20ctrl

graphics/kdc2tiff

graphics/opendis
