I do, in fact, consider it that way, and I need some way of telling
people they should feel free to do simple version updates my ports
without asking me. I'd suggest that if you don't want that to be
possible, maybe you don't want openmaintainer on your ports? Or
maybe, even better, we need some way of indicating various gradations
of policy?
