That is absolute bull****.
If a member of games@ revives a port under the games@ maintainership,
you bet that he and the entire games@ team is responsible for ensuring
the port is valid *BEFORE* resurrecting it.

Not checking it was bad.  Not checking it after multiple people objected
immediately to the revival of the port on the basis of it's possible
invalidity is indefensible.  Ruslan is obligated to do it, and since
he's refusing to, it becomes games@ teams obligation to do it.  If you
think it's not, then I'd like games@ to stop picking up unmaintained
ports because it's not helping at all.  Seriously, thanks.
