For new ports, it's a defacto, strongly encouraged guideline that new
ports should be MAINTAINER'd by the person who authored it, for reasons
outlined:

and

Yes, unless a team has explicitly said that its OK (the python team for
python ports is close to this). But this (new port) is different than
existing ports who's maintainers are being reset.

Yes, all else being equal, in almost all cases, unless there is a good
reason not to (say its a very important, highly impactful port that
*should* be maintained by the ports team responsible for that software
ecosystem)
