It's OK from me to pass maintainership.

Unconditionally install completions according to Porter's Handbook Chapter 6.31.. This adds extra build, but no run dependencies.

Option there exactly because of extra dependency (I dislike extra dependencies), one solution is to install completion manually unconditionally with port infrastructure.

please, commit with the long list for test skip.

I don't think *failed* tests should be skipped. I'm also inclined to not skip any of them and leave the broken tests in; that might be more incentive for someone to attempt to fix the broken tests.

Why so many tests are in skip test variable? From your log I can see that it should contain only 3 (because only 3 tests has failed): atomicity message-property database-modified

Could you be more specific? I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for.

Bash completion path should stay - prefix/share is for shareable content, as functions.
