[ports discussion] enforcing maintainership?

Hi,

I don't know if it has been debated before but I'd like to propose a
change, or at least discuss about it.

- people submitting new ports must become maintainer

- ports without a maintainer must find a maintainer

- ports where the maintainer is getting removed or not answering MUST
find a new maintainer

To make this more feasable, maybe we could create some small groups of
maintainers for specific areas like language specific ports (ghc,
python etc..). MAINTAINER could be a single person or a list of person,
or refer to a maintainer group defined somewhere else.

Like, if you join the python maintainer group, you are fine dealing
with all the python packages that doesn't have a maintainer (this would
be set to the group).
