Technically that's probably not too difficult. Debian has a system like that, using PGP signatures for authentication, which we could probably steal^Wcopy without too much trouble. The real kicker though is about maintaining code quality. This is pretty much why committers exist: they are people who have shown competence in dealing with src / ports / docs whatever and have demonstrated they can maintain standards. One of a committers primary functions is to either fix or get the submitter to fix problems with submissions before committing. Now, it's almost certainly true that many port maintainers who aren't already committers would be perfectly competent at updating their own ports. Chances are though if such a maintainer has been sufficiently active and has submitted enough to establish their competence then they'd be a definite prospect as a full-blown committer anyhow. ie. if you're good enough to commit changes to your own ports, then you're pretty much good enough to commit changes to any port, so you might as well have a ports commit bit.
