Don't put more bureaucracy or hurdles in the way. That won't scale and will frustrate people and some will feel a second-class citizen (I already feel unwanted more and more in Fedora-land after this discussion because I never found time to learn proper programming -- mostly due to fact that most of my free time is already filled with Fedora-related work). We have a lot of non-hackers that maintain packages in Fedora and it worked well so far and that in parts made Fedora what it is today. What IMHO would be good instead of what you outline: groups of people (SIGs) a package-monkey can contact if he needs help to fix or improve something needs programming skills.
