Yes, somebody would have to set that up but it would pay big dividend I

It also does away with the QA aspect that committers currently provide.
I'd like to repeat that people sufficiently familiar with the ports system
to QA patches generally ends up with a commit bit fairly quickly.

I wouldn't assume people that become this proficient necessarily want a
commit bit.
The whole point of my proposal is give and take.
Yes, you take away "QA" responsibility from an entire pool of committers
and make it the primary responsibility of this new class of maintainer
on a per port basis (and not nearly all ports either). I was proposing
that your gains (much less PRs, more often maintained ports) far
outweigh the liabilities. I would be selective who gets assigned to
this new class. They should have a body of work that instills
confidence that they can handle QA.
You don't get something for nothing and it's not hard to revoke the
privilege if a person can't handle it.
