The Ports Management Team is responsible for overseeing the overall direction of the Ports Tree, building packages (through its subsidiary pkgmgr), and personnel matters. Below is what happened in this quarter.

Currently we have around 33,500 ports in the tree. For these ports, there are 3,021 open problem reports, of which 764 are unassigned. The first three months of this year saw 9,021 commits by 163 committers for the main branch and 701 commits by 55 committers for the 2023Q1 branch. Compared to 2022Q4, this means a slight increase in the number of ports, port PRs, ports commits, and active port committers.

During this quarter, we welcomed Robert Clausecker (fuz@), Vladimir Druzenko (vvd@), Robert Nagy (rnagy@), welcomed back Norikatsu Shigemura (nork@), and said goodbye to Marius Strobl (marius@). Portgmr added Muhammad Moinur Rahman (bofh@) as a new member after a successful lurkership.

Four new USES were introduced:
