Currently we're 3 in that list.  This would be a good time to call for other
GNU/kFreeBSD developers to list themselves:

  http://wiki.debian.org/kfreebsd-i386EtchReleaseRecertification

It'd be good if we were (at least) 5 by tomorrow 12:00 UTC.

It depends on how you interpret the information.  How about:

  a: io.debian.net == 29
  b: archvote.phtml == 18
  c: wiki userlist == 12
  total: 59
  b and c have no duplicates.

  a: io.debian.net == 29
  b: popcon == 15
  total: 44
  (almost 50.  maybe we can get it lower?)

It is.  IIRC it's even ok for release.

Actualy, they haven't really specified what "upstream support" means for us.

Aj said there will be further requirements for non-Linux ports.  Perhaps this
is one of them.
