Only 17 email addresses (not all of which would be committers):

grep "[[:space:]]cd[[:space:]]" */*/Portfile \
| grep -v "system[[:space:]]" \
| sed -E 's%^.*/(.*)/Portfile.*$%\1%' \
| uniq \
| xargs port info --maintainer \
| sed -e 's%^maintainer: %%' -e 's%,%%' \
| xargs -n 1 echo \
| sort \
| uniq \
| grep -v maintainer at macports.org \
| wc -l

I went ahead and sent out a message (this list was Cc'd).
