Slowloris both helps identify the timeout windows of a HTTP server or Proxy
server, can bypass httpready protection and ultimately performs a fairly low
bandwidth denial of service. It has the added benefit of allowing the server
to come back at any time (once the program is killed), and not spamming the
logs excessively. It also keeps the load nice and low on the target server, so
other vital processes don't die unexpectedly, or cause alarm to anyone who is
logged into the server for other reasons.
The main audience using slowloris is of course a system administrators wanting
to measure their webserver's performance and vulnerability.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Reset maintainership of the ports maintained by alexey@renatasystems.org
Based on the timeout of 3+ months (2018-03-23-now) on bug#226885 for net/ucarp
Also, looking at the subversion log, there were timeouts on:
* bug#224169 r465659 | ygy | 2018-03-26 19:51:12
* bug#224768 r459066 | swills | 2018-01-15 07:16:28
* bug#224755 r459058 | swills | 2018-01-15 06:55:08
The last approval from alexey@renatasystems.org was over a year ago:
bug#218563 r438885 | lifanov | 2017-04-19 08:30:28 (devel/py-colorama)
