"Being a port maintainer" document

Matt,

I have no such fear and rely on my relationship with the original
developer(s) to help with build or runtime issues I can't fix or answer on
the couple of ports I maintain. Then again, I maintain easy ports which
probably aren't used by too many folks.

So, go far it and take maintainership. If it gets too much, you can give it
up without shame.
