and so on... Do we have a guide for something like this written done anywhere ?

"7.4.1. Non-Maintainer Port Updates" in our guide.
https://guide.macports.org/#project.update-policies.nonmaintainer

That is not what I am asking for. Specifically it does not give any guidance on exactly what constitutes 'major' or 'minor' changes. All it says is

"If a port's maintainer contains the address <[email protected]>, this means that the author allows minor updates to the port without contacting him first. But permission should still be sought for major changes."

It leaves the interpretation of major and minor up to the reader, which for me is the problem here.

We need a clear set of rules as to what this does and does not entail.
