No comment on that, but what I'd love to see is tickets auto-assigned  
to the port maintainer, for ports that have a maintainer. Reporters  
frequently don't know they're supposed to do this manually, and it's  
a nonzero amount of work for reporters to look up who a port's  
maintainer is, and it seems like Trac should be able to know this.
