For ports I believe the rules do not really differ from the rest of the
GNU core software, that is GCC, GDB and binutils. For orphan
architectures as long as it follows the GNU coding standard, builds and
passes regression-testing I can see no reason for a patch not to be
applied by anyone with the write privilege who happens to have some time
to spare. And skilled contributors may become maintainers of such if they
wish to, like with the pieces mentioned above. Anyone to disagree?
