I'm with Stuart on this, but I will elaborate.
Our current problem is having enough developers to handle the flow of ports.
As far as porting new stuff/updating stuff goes, sometimes people will do
the work, but do not want to commit to maintainership. If we try to enforce
that, we may actually push some people away.
I don't see any real problem this would solve.
In an ideal world, we would have three times as many dedicated people curating
the tree. But we want relevant ports to keep coming.
