I'll maintain it :)

Go produce static binaries and should be easy to deploy.

Updated the gist with more details.

I was wondering which should I follow " How to work with us" on GSoC 
website or
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeApplicationTemplate.

Updated the gist. Yes, I plan to have it fully deployed.

Sure, it will listen to the webhooks and need a URL for that.

It will get the maintainers from unmodified Portfile for security 
considerations.
However if the migration to GitHub handles didn't make it will have to 
get that from a database.

YAML and Bash. mpbb code can be reused.

To implement this, first let Travis generate archives for base and then
use the archive and modified mpbb to test the PR.
