Comment (by mojca@…):

 I'm still confused and lack the complete picture.

 Can you please add/correct my understanding? Basically:
   * globus/gridftp are actively developed
   * `grid-packaging-tools` is broken, no longer developed/maintained (and
 according to your words hopefully no longer needed in recent versions of
 globus/gridftp)
   * you don't care at all if `grid-packaging-tools` gets removed, except
 that it probably cannot be removed unless `globus-core` gets updated (or
 removed)
   * `globus-core` in MacPorts is outdated (#50213)
   * you would like to get the complete `gtidftp` port implemented at some
 point (`globus-core` is just a tiny part of the complete picture)
   * you already put a great deal of effort into https://github.com/dvandok
 /globus-macports, but you lack time and motivation at the moment to finish
 the job
   * a while ago you requested inclusion of `globus-core` (#39280) and
 `grid-packaging-tools` (#38801) which were both added, while other parts
 that would be needed were not yet finished and/or included

 If I understand the situation correctly and in case that `globus-core` is
 "useless" on its own (without all the other sugars from the above
 mentioned repository) and if we currently have no manpower to bring
 `globus-core` up to date + add all other packages, it might be better to
 keep the development on GitHub (and put the latest version of the
 `Portfile` there as well) and first find a new maintainer willing to
 complete the enormous amount of work that already went into this.

 Please advise.
