+
+The Ports Management Team is responsible for overseeing the overall direction of the Ports Tree, building packages, and personnel matters.
+Below is what happened in the last quarter.
+
+* According to INDEX, there are currently 31,942 ports in the Ports Collection.
+There are currently ~3,100 open ports PRs.
+The last quarter saw 9,424 commits by 157 committers on the main branch and 781 commits by 71 committers on the 2023Q4 branch.
+Compared to last quarter, this means a hefty decrease in the number of commits on the main branch (down from 11,454) and slightly fewer backports to the quarterly branch (down from 828).
+The number of ports also fell a bit (down from 34,600).
+
+In Q4 there were around 9424 commits to main.
+The most active committers where:
+        sunpoet   2946
+        yuri       861
+        bofh       793
+        jbeich     419
+        fuz        324
+        eduardo    168
+        fernape    160
+        jhale      153
+        thierry    146
+        diizzy     123
+
+During Q4 we welcomed Michael Osipov (michaelo) and  Timothy Beyer (beyert) as new committers, but sadly also had to say goodbye to bland, sbruno, hselasky and gjb.
+
+We invited arrowd, flo and riggs to be part of portmgr-lurkers for the next months.
+
+Support for FreeBSD 12.x was removed at the end of the quarter.
+
+The end of Q4 also saw the introduction of subpackages to the ports tree.
+Similar to when flavors were introduced, new subpackages will require an approval by portmgr before being pushed to the tree.
+With subpackages it is possible to create multiple packages from a single build of a port.
+
+The following happened on the infrastructure side:
+* Packages for 14.0-RELEASE were built
+* Poudriere was updated to release-3.4
+
+* Support for FreeBSD 12.x was removed.
+* The no-longer maintained package:www/qt5-webkit[] was removed.
+* postgresql11, php80, mysql57, percona57, ghostscript9 were removed.
+* The following default versions changed:
+    * perl                    to 5.36
+    * ghostcript              to 10
+    * corosync                to 3
+* Updates to major ports that happened were:
+    * package:ports-mgmt/pkg[]          to 1.20.9
+    * package:ports-mgmt/poudriere[]    to 3.4.0 (subpackage support)
+    * KDE-bits                to plasma-5.27.10, frameworks-5.112, gear-23.08.4, and beta-2
+    * package:www/chromium[]            to 120.0.6099.129
+    * package:www/firefox[]             to 121.0 (rc1)
+    * pacakge:lang/rust[]               to 1.74.1
+    * ... and many more ...
+
+During the last quarter, pkgmgr@ ran 26 exp-runs to test various ports upgrades, updates to default versions of ports, subpackage support and base system changes.
