How can I cross-reference this package name?

https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=matrix-synapse&stype=all&sektion=all shows py311-matrix-synapse-1.138.0_2 and when clicking on it, I see py-matrix-synapse in the URL

https://www.freshports.org/net-im/py-matrix-synapse/ shows py-matrix-synapse. I do finally see py311-matrix-synapse as a "package flavor" available.

Should we just suggest the default py-matrix-synapse

The package (py311-matrix-synapse) does not exist in the (default) quarterly repository, it's in "latest". The port is net-im/py-matrix-synapse
