Comment:
I can see how this is happening. We actually maintain separate maintainer
information for a "port" from any submitted portpkgs. When a new portpkg
is submitted where there was no previous information for a port, we set
the maintainer. Otherwise, the port maintainer is never set.
This is a policy issue: the general idea behind mpwa is that anybody can
submit a portpkg for a port; we don't want to blindly update the port from
the latest portpkg submission. Once we have authentication working, we can
actually implement support for setting the maintainer of a port, who will
then receive special status.
We have a gsoc student working on mpwa; hopefully he can get to this
issue. I'm assigning this bug to Rick.
Thanks for the report.
