Maybe it'd help to break jozze.zepl's suggestions in to 2 parts ?
- Working & non working ports tree
(No comment from me on that)
- Multiple maintainers
I believe MAINTAINER= value is currently a unitary mail address, which
is [usually] an individual or a freebsd mail list.
I recall before we've discussed adding names of alternates/ extras,
(perhaps comma seperated), & that some who maintain
.mk macros & shell scripts pointed out some difficulties if changed.
Even within the current unchanged syntax,
handfulls of maintainers might already co-operate on a per port basis, with eg
MAINTAINER=port_xyz_maintainers@their-domain.com
their-domain.com /etc/mail/aliases:
port_xyz_maintainers: port_xyz_maint0, port_xyz_maint1
port_xyz_maint0: jack@upthehill.com
port_xyz_maint1: jill@downthehill.com
Cheers,
Julian
