It's kind of hard to see Bree's gatekeepers as being some honored inherited position. Maybe it's taken by people who just like to see who's coming and going, and maybe have some juicy gossip to impress the folk.

Maybe they're paid by some common fund? I can see that, though it was likely a pittance, and not meant to be more than supplemental income.
