If you add one port per PR and set the proper dependencies in each PR,
it's easy for several committers to work on those ports.

For the beginning, it's probably best if you stay maintainer, because
you understand best when a port can be upgraded so that it does not interfere
with the main application.

This can otherwise become a problem (see gitlab-ce and the python
ports it depends on).
