I'd welcome a patch to allow multiple maintainers. It would be an enabling, Doesn't imply requirement to have multiple for all ports. Individual ports maintainers & users might feel different numbers of Maintainers were appropriate to different ports, a luxury to choose that FreeBSD hasn't offered till now. Could give faster response when prime=first maintainer is on holiday, or snowed under. As to list names used for Maintainer, That seems to remain a seperate policy not enabling technology issue, (assuming there's no auto detect on eg known list names). Though as some ports have mail list dedicated to one port, some human maintainers may want to add a list name as eg a secondary Maintainer, & some ports just with a list might get a human appended.
