Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 portmgr is only an administrative group; code changes are welcome from
 all. You're right, this URL organization that gnome uses makes it
 difficult to use the current livecheck implementation which expects the
 current version number of be found on a single page whose URL does not
 change. So far, we've handled this by either accepting this limitation
 (that gnome livecheck will only notify you of new point releases, not new
 branches), and relying on other means to discover new branches, or else
 using a different URL for the livecheck, for example the project's
 homepage, or freecode.

 As for odd/even numbering, that's easy enough to handle with the right
 regex, such as is already used by many gnome ports.
