If the candidate is incapable of handling the PRs, why should s/he be annointed the maintainer? If, by making them the maintainer, they are expected to fix the PRs, what difference does the action order make? If it's the right person, the result will be that all known issues are fixed and portmaster has a proven capable maintainer. That's a bad thing? Proving qualifications is a bad thing? This is not just any port, and it's difficult to maintain, so pardon me if I'd like some proof. JOhn
