This is a necessary thing based on the sheer number of such changes
that need to be made.  Even upgrades haven't always gone through the
MAINTAINER.

Now, if someone upgrades a port for which a PR upgrading it has
already been submitted (but ignored), then the MAINTAINER may
complain.  I recall sending an ~page complaint about this once...  :-)

In the case of ache and nectar (aka. Jacques Vidrine), that's
probably okay.  :)  Potentially it is necessary to ensure that
MAINTAINER has chosen the correct direction for the port...
