+1 -- I'm all for that, too, but every time I proposed something like
the above somewhere I got quickly shot down by other people.

But the proper place for that IMHO is not the co-maintainers policy.
It's IMHO the "when to touch other peoples packages" policy. When I
wrote that I even tried to grant some "packaging specialists" access
everywhere, but as I said: People did not like it and preferred the
bugzilla way even for obvious fixes.
