I'm not familiar with Trac internals. Can we override that and  
populate it with a list of our own creation? Generated e.g. with a  
script like this:

port info --maintainer all | sed -E -e 's/^maintainer: //' -e 's/,// 
g' -e 's/(no|open)maintainer at macports\.org//g' | xargs -n 1 echo |  
sort | uniq
