For example, I'd like to be able to indicate that I'm happy with anyone making reasonable changes to my ports on their own without waiting three days for me, but there's no way to do that, because "open maintainer" really means "three day timeout" just like closed.

openmaintainer means that - but just for other committers.

I don't think we want anyone to be able to commit anything to any openmaintainer port w/o review from a committer. (Maybe we need more committers or to be quicker in giving people commit, though).

that's what openmaintainer means (with the exception of large changes changes)

Maybe we need an update to the port abandoned process (or some sort of positive checkin for maintainers to make sure they're still interested in maintaining a port)?
