This feels like we're dictating how people should manage their packages. Why should EVERY package have more than one maintainer? There are some pretty simple packages out there, does it really need 3? Do we really want to tell everybody that we don't trust just them, we need to trust 3 of them?

You're saying that just because you own more than a few packages, you're automatically lowering the quality of those packages, or you automatically can't handle the load. This is a bad and very unfriendly assumption to make. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
