And you are ranting with legalese talk again. Our policies are for
normal people, not lawyers, and thus, require you to extrapolate a bit
and use common sense.
This is why, for example, the porter's handbook is 350 pages long, not
25000, with 42 annexes.

Now, to the subject at hand, new ports must have a maintainer, in this
case, you did not follow the policy, it is a new port, and it does not
have maintainer.
