| What do the ports committers prefer?

| a) Letting the responsible field contain non-committer emails?

I think b) is the sane way to do it.  It's pretty much taken for granted
that if a PR affects port <xyz>, then the maintainer of that port is
responsible.  If I take a PR about a port I don't maintain, it's understood
that I'm going to coordinate my fixes with the maintainer (or just proxy
their fix, or approve the third-party fix with them).

I think we should only allow freefall logins to own a PR.  If someone
else owns a PR, they can't _really_ fix it.  They can submit a patch,
but they can't be responsible for committing it & closing the bug and/or
following up with the reporter of the bug.
