If it is indeed agreed that some package version updates are allowed under the ‘minor’ tag, then I think the best you can do is just state that, and acknowledge that the determination of what is or is not a minor package revision cannot be quantified in generality, so is up to the member to decide making the changes, and that disagreements are inevitable.

Has MacPorts considered removing the whole "maintainer" idea (with the possible exception of a very few key ports that are presently not openmaintainer)?

It seems to cause a fair bit of frustration, delay, and confusion and I'm not certain it offers a whole lot of benefit.

Homebrew has no such concept.
