Pretty much this.
In my humble opinion, if you are not the original author (or a maintainer), or you don't have permission, you should not recycle the name. At best, go along with how the community deals with fan updates, and list it as a fan port. If the author of the original requests it's removal, it should be honored.
This might not be a very popular opinion among everybody, but I'd suggest a ban on ports lacking permission from the original author/s. Well, aside from those that are GPL'd, or were placed into public domain obviously.
