Sorry for annoying people, it takes me about the same time to check
the email vs the pkgdb page, so I didn't bother.

I re-orphaned portaudio. I see that it is patched to work with
pulseaudio, which, I think, must be banned from the surface of Earth.

Anyone who is interested can take it over.

annoyed if someone takes over an orphaned package and does not report
this on the mailing list. For everyone's information.
