port maintainers

[Michael Thon]

I am listed as the maintainer for one port - ncbi_tools and I have a  
few other ports that I would like to submit to the repository.   
According to the macports guide, I should be using subversion to  
maintain my ports.  You probably don't want me mucking about in your  
subversion repo until you are confident that I know what I'm doing.  I  
should probably submit my port changes/updates through trac.  In that  
case, should I still be listed as the maintainer, even though I don't  
have commit privileges?
cheers
