If this is implemented, the 'next' co-maintainer should become the real maintainer after another 8 weeks non-commiting by the former maintainer. For me it doesn't make much sense to be co-maintainer everywhere, but actually: 1. doing all the tasks alone. 2. when there is a problem with the package, other contact at first the maintainer, which should be the new one, too. Maybe a button with 'take the package, when maintainer doesn't want to keep it' and transfer, when the maintainer agrees or doesn't respond in the 8 weeks or so?
