Yes, this section is very useful and very interesing for me.  This is
why I wrote it. Offensive? I'm not a child and I assume pkgsrc
developers are not too. If you are in this list, be peaceful and
continue maintaining your packages. I will not discuss offensiveness
of this section. This is not blame-list, this is per maintainer
statistics.
