But apparently 72 hours is the rule in general, even without
"openmaintainer" being set. It still doesn't tell us what the
practical difference is between "openmaintainer" and a closed
port.

Most of the things you listed are apparently things (like
typos) that apparently anyone can merge even into a
non-openmaintainer port. The question is, what distinguishes
"openmaintainer"? But that's a distinct thread in this list and we
should probably stick to that thread for it.
