--- Comment #7 from Erwin Lansing <erwin@FreeBSD.org> ---
I'm going to go ahead and take the big hammer and close this.  This comes up
every year or so, and while it may add some more flexibility in some cases,
most of them can be solves with a single maintainer address listed in the port
as well.  Flexibility comes at a cost of having to maintain the flexibility.

Designing and implementing a working solution, that takes care of all corner
cases, will be a major task that does not add enough benefit compared to the
work that needs to be done.  Also remember, that a lot of downstream code
(freshports, portsmon, etc.) assume there to be only one maintainer, and these
projects also need to be adjusted.

If you can present a more concrete use-case that cannot be done with a single
maintainer, and a implementation and migration plan, including downstream
projects, we may reconsider.  But for now, I'd say we have biggest fish to
catch.
