Hi Sean,
No one is, as far as I'm aware.
There used to be one, but homebrew removed all python packages I think.
You can probably find the previous maintainers with some searching.
Happy to help you out if you need it.
The mac homebrew compile instructions are here:
https://www.pygame.org/wiki/MacCompile#Installing%20from%20source%20with%20homebrew
Note, we currently recommend people use this to install stuff.
python3 -m pip -U install pygame --user
With a whole bunch of platform specific notes at:
https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted
That doesn't install into the system folder, but into a user folder.
It's unfortunate that pip still destroys stuff by default.
ps. it looks like you need to sign up to the mailing list at:
https://www.pygame.org/wiki/info#Mailing%20List
Seems your post is just on the google mirror of the mailing list.
Sorry for the confusion.

Hey all, so it appears that installing pygame on the newer OSX versions is extremely problematic. On a friend's computer I tried pip and easy_install, and both ran into conflicts with the system python and root/nonroot install paths.
Rather than get into the specific problem here, can I ask the simple question -- is anybody working on or actively maintaining a an OSX homebrew tap for pygame? If not, I might jump into the fray and give it a shot.
This way we can get back to just 'brew install python-pygame' and you're done.
