again, dictating.  You're saying that just because you own more than a few

+1.

The fears:

  * Packages with single maintainers are more vulnerable to bitrot;

  * If default policy is not multiple packagers, people might start
    to feel like they're better going it alone.

The likely reality, as I see it:

  * It will become obvious when a package needs additional love,
    especially if we can build some simple tools: for instance, a
    daily report on the 10 packages with the highest bug rates;

  * People will, in general, be open to help with troublesome
    packages;

  * FESCO will be an effective body in arbiting any disputes.
