Comment(by jmpp@…):

 I've never really liked the ports.php page much either. Other than the
 ugly layout of the PHP code, mixed all over with SQL, uuggghhh... it's
 utility is rather limited, I'd say. Reason why I didn't do much about it
 at the time, though, other than limited available time, is that what I had
 in mind to boost its appeal was by no means a non-trivial addition. I
 thought clicking on a port result should take you to a page displaying the
 port's current build status on all the platforms we support, as gathered
 from the build logs of automated runs (produced by LoggingProposal) and
 processed by a webapp (mpwa). Neither of those two key components have
 been implemented yet, though, so a short term alternative could be a
 simple as removing the anchor to Trac's source browser. Thoughts...?

 PS: If anyone would believe me, I'm still pretty much interested in
 implementing LoggingProposal, though my current commitments are still
 keeping me from engaging in any extra curricular activities,
 unfortunately.
