Comment:

 We don't have any control over how Apple reports things. We don't set my
 name as the name of the software anywhere, so Apple is just pulling it
 from the Developer ID used to sign the binaries. The exact wording of the
 message is "software //from// Joshua Root" to be fair, which is accurate.
 The name of the executable is `daemondo` and the identifier used for the
 MacPorts installer package is `org.macports.base`.

 Unless the work is done to make MacPorts a legal entity that Apple would
 issue a Developer ID to, and someone pays for the Apple Developer
 subscription for the project, there isn't much we could do about this.
