It does if you're not responsible for it.  You lose all claim to
MAINTAINER bit if you can't reasonably keep it up-to-date, or
provide a reason why it should not be.  Bad MASTER_SITES ==
broken port.  Broken port == must be fixed by MAINTAINER in
reasonable time frame, or someone else can do it for him/her.
How it is fixed is, of course, up to the person who fixes it.
But MASTER_SITE_BACKUP is intended to be exactly that -- a
safety net.  Don't abuse it.
