Hello,

You have a tool presented as "official" that hasn't had it's
original maintainer in 4 years and was only kept on life support up
until 9 months ago.

Agreed, the "official" (the term used is "recommended") status is
gone.  But that's a reason to fix the documentation, not remove it.
As I see it, we have three choices, in increasing order of
desirability:

1.  Remove all mention of portmaster.  That's what this PR recommends.
2.  Do nothing.
3.  Update the documentation to indicate the current status,
     recommending alternatives if possible.

Number 4 is missing: find a maintainer for it.

I would volunteer for this. But before a real commitment i need a closer look at it, which i will do next week. So please standby.

Greetings,
Torsten
