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? Why is
this necessary?
+1, JK words the major part of my issues with this proposal well:
"dictating how people should manage their packages" I don't like to be
dictated, I don't like it at all!
Also I find it funny that you (THL) first say:
"Well, my proposal is not that much more complicated:"
And then need a couple of very dense and hard to read paragraphs like
the one quoted by JK above to explain your policy.
Maintainers should hand over packages to
co-maintainers when they have lots of packages to improve the quality,
share the load and get people involved.
again, dictating. 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.
+1 (But I made that clear already)
