 * From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@zippy.cdrom.com>

 * Before you make suggestions about how to solve this, let's discuss the
 * "multiple maintainer problem" in more detail.  We don't need a kludge
 * to this one, we need a real mechanism which allows for this so we don't
 * end up back in this discussion again.

What we have is an unknown number of scripts out there that assume
MAINTAINER is a single e-mail address, since that has been the rule
for many years.  I don't wish to break those scripts nor try to find
out how many will break, I think it is perfectly fine to have only one
maintainer (address) per port, after all it's called MAINTAINER and
not MAINTAINERS.

Can we return to our regularly scheduled release engineering now? :)
