So far I was not planning to use a big matrix, just having products being 
moved through the states NOTBUILD -> WORKINGON -> BUILDS, and being able to 
assign a person per product :)

For all the deeper porting work after something builds at least again as the 
first step, I am not sure people will maintain a big matrix anyway, but rather 
work on what they just think is fun, organizing themselves dynamically via irc 
or per email.

And each subproject might have their own approach here anyway. Krita devs 
might work different from Kexi devs. And the Sheets/Stage/Words/Author crowd 
has again another dynamic and interaction.

So at least I am hesitating to prepare more here :)

But might make sense still. Tell, what items would make up the porting_aspect 
dimension?

E.g. all the bullet points from 
https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Porting_Notes ?
