<para>Note that only a single address without comment part is
allowed as a <makevar>MAINTAINER</makevar> value.</para>
<para>If the maintainer of a port does not respond to an update
request from a user after two weeks (excluding major public
holidays), then that is considered a maintainer timeout, and the
update may be made without explicit maintainer approval. If the
maintainer does not respond within three months, then that
maintainer is considered absent without leave, and can be
replaced as the maintainer of the particular port in question.
Exceptions to this are anything maintained by the &a.portmgr;, or
the &a.security-officer;. No unauthorized commits may ever be
made to ports maintained by those groups.</para>
<para>The &a.portmgr; reserves the right to revoke or override
anyone's maintainership for any reason, and the &a.security-officer;
reserves the right to revoke or override maintainership for security
reasons.</para>
