No way, except from hardcoding the few aliases.

Repocopies are special. There is no real concept of a maintainer as
after the repocopy, in principle, it's a new port and could have another
maintainer as the old one. Also, when the PR is assigned to portmgr,
portmgr will need a committer to sign the PR back to after the repocopy
is done.

I'd say, if the PR originator is a committer, just sign it right over to
portmgr. If not, assign to the maintainer and/or wait for a committer to
pick it up.
