-------------------------+--------------------
 Would it make sense to create a central port problem reporting mechanism.
 The idea would be to collate problem reports via a centralized collector,
 aggregating potential issues into a more central/visible element.

 For example, a port is broken and doesn't build correctly, "port report
 <portname>" would send the build logs and other data to a central
 collector.  If it's a known issue, maybe the collector might even have an
 automated response containing that info which could be a comment from or
 pointer to a ticket.

 This may grant a higher view into potential issues for port maintainers,
 reducing noise in mailing lists, tickets, etc.
