That is not what I am asking for. Specifically it does not give any 
guidance on exactly what constitutes 'major' or 'minor' changes. All it 
says is

"If a port's maintainer contains the address 
<openmaintainer at macports.org>, this means that the author allows minor 
updates to the port without contacting him first. But permission should 
still be sought for major changes."

It leaves the interpretation of major and minor up to the reader, which 
for me is the problem here.

We need a clear set of rules as to what this does and does not entail.
