Fair enough; recent changes in perception of what should be (thankfully)
allowed to commit without explicit approval had mitigated the need for
release of maintainership (as hard lock) considerably.

Interesting.  Given your DragonFly experience, can you elaborate a bit on
the situation with pkgsrc, which I think was used as primary collection for
third-party software, yet later had switched (back?) to dports?  Or point
me to some article or blog entry (WRT "how successful this approach is").

Another solution is team-maintainership; I still do not quite understand
why it did not work out with games@ (several months ago, all games@ ports
were reset to ports@).  There was some discussion AFAIR, but I didn't find
it convincing (nor can remember it now).
