Awesome!

Just create an empty list of maintainers.

We could make this into a list as well. We also need additional info
about whether or not a variant is default, but that can be added
later.

I would make this a list (as for categories) as well. We could split
the "port:" prefix, but maybe later.

Thinking about this and "nomaintainer". Maybe go bold and use
"closedmaintainer" instead, then do the following:
- if port either has no maintainer, or is under openmaintainer policy,
set closedmaintainer to False
- else set it to True

If we keep the "openmaintainer" keword, it's not clear to me what to
do with non-maintained ports.

Just keep the name, no need for the full URL. So probably something like
    "github_username" : "ryandesign"
instead of the full URL (not sure if github or github_username) is better.

We also need to add emails. Maybe something like
    "email" : { "name" : "ryandesign", "domain" : "macports.org" },
    "github": "ryandesign"

Alternative would be to treat users with commit rights in a different
way (domain is always macports), but I don't see any reason to do so.

Thank you,
