According to portscout, there are three individual maintainers who each 
maintain 1000+ ports: https://portscout.freebsd.org/index-total.html

I'm trying to wrap my head around how someone could do that. They have to use 
some utils to pull that off. Are those tools publicly available, either as 
packages, or scripts in a repo somewhere?

I am gradually developing a bit of tooling to maintain my own collection of 
ports: https://patmaddox.com/dir?ci=3d33b5b2dd2ebe39&name=ports/maintain  
Perhaps one day it will evolve to a point where it's generally useful and 
shareable.

In the mean time, I would love to know how people are efficiently maintaining 
multiple ports: particularly those folks maintaining 1000+. Maybe I can just do 
what they do instead of re-constructing this myself.
