Right now b.p.m adds maintainer if the port does not via
MAINTAINER ?= ports
This masks real errors in ports (because the maintainer doesn't look wrong) and adds code we don't need.
There are two possibilities I propose to change this line
a) Just drop it. Ports that don't define a MAINTAINER are broken and this just masks it
b) Change to a different "global" email address (badmaintainer at freebsd.org) which may avoid breakage in some pointhat scripts but would not mask the errors (and ports with a maintainer of badmaintainer@ could be found easily.
