I am (at the moment) the package maintainer for Hugo.

Thanks for the comments. Publicizing the MacPorts package for Hugo, on
the Hugo site, is a great idea. I haven't looked into it because
Hugo's publicity hadn't crossed my mind, nor am I involved in the
upstream project in any way (my primary motivation for maintaining the
Portfile is driven by my own desire to use Hugo).

As a new-ish maintainer, I do rely heavily on the MacPorts Guide [1], so
something like "notify upstream about the MacPorts package" might be a
good item to add on a checklist in Portfile Development.
