I believe current measures work fine: check distfile availability, routinely
run the port on tinderbox.  What we are doing right now is enough; no need
to make "maintained by ports@" mean anything particularly bad or unsafe.
Real maintainers sometimes are just as bad when it comes to security and
build fixes.

Personally, I think of ports@ as being "maintained by Ports Fury, but they
do not mind if I touch it sometimes".
