This has put me off the idea further tbh. Once committed it can't simply
be ignored, if it's not maintained in a timely fashion if things change
in OpenBSD (which is not that unusual) then somebody else has to either
fix or remove it. This happened many times before for ports which are
OpenBSD-specific.

Since it does sound different to show-reverse-deps (though it wasn't
clear from the description), perhaps the solution is to add the
functionality as a new mode in pkg_info.
