== Special Maintainer Addresses ==

MacPorts uses two special maintainer email addresses to mark the maintainer status of a port.

||'''Address'''||'''Meaning'''||
||nomaintainer@macports.org||Any port with this address has no maintainer, and is eligible for adoption as described <somewhere>.||
||openmaintainer@macports.org||Any port with this address should also have one or more real, live maintainers. By adding this address, the maintainer(s) signify that they are not adverse to maintainance by other committers.||

Email to these addresses results in an auto reply that refers the reader to this page. For help with ''nomaintainer'' category, you might send email to the [http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users MacPorts-users list].
