I have said repeatedly that this criteria is unique to portmaster due to
it's presence in the handbook and to its [apparent] importance in the
ports ecosystem.

I am NOT saying this is the criteria for every port.  However, I would
rather nobody volunteer if they aren't qualified so that decisions
aren't kicked down the road like a can. I'm not looking to check a box
resulting in no improvement, I want somebody qualified or not at all.
