Those maintainers are Fedora maintainers these days. Saying they are "required to make sure their stuff builds on all primary arches" would increase the burden on the maintainer drastically. I think that's totally the wrong way forward. Further: if I would read something like that before becoming a contributor I'd say "hey, that's hard stuff; I know my knowledge is not enough to do that should I even run into a situation where something doesn't build on PPC; well, then I won't become a contributor for Fedora. Have fun guys, bye". Just as for secondary arches there should be SIGs/teams which a maintainer could ask for help in case they need help. That already works quite well for PPC (thanks to dwmw2 for all his work).
