 I'm volunteering to be the maintainer of this port.
 As this is my first port built via Go and I'm not an expert, I'm not sure
 if I did it in a completely idiomatic way. Please let me know if this can
 be improved.

 I intend to introduce subports that are built from this same source for
 the discovery server, relay server, etc. but I want get this basic package
 committed first.

 Note that until it reaches 1.0, new versions of Syncthing (0.x) change the
 protocol in a non-backwards compatible way, which forces all devices to be
 upgrade at the same. This usually happens every few months (0.14 is from
 July, 0.13 from May). Because such an upgrade can be really disruptive, I
 would some feedback about how we handle 0.15 when it comes out:
 1. should `syncthing` be upgraded to 0.15 which will break synchronization
 until users upgrade all their other devices?
 2. should `syncthing` be upgraded to 0.15 and 0.14 becomes
 `syncthing-0.14`, so users can downgrade after an upgrade? (probably the
 port should have a note to warn users in this case)
 3. should this port be named `syncthing-0.14` from the start so the user
 has to explicitly install `syncthing-0.15` to upgrade? (note that old
 versions are abandoned, they won't have security fixes — when a new
 version comes out we could make a new revision of the old port to tell
 users of that fact)
 4. some other alternative that I am missing?

 As a user, I would probably vote for 3 to minimize any disruption of my
 workflow. It takes a few days/weeks for all the popular Syncthing apps
 (especially mobile clients) to get updated.
