Allowing any packager to commit to most packages is something that we
could try. There is a risk of people making undesirable changes, but
we won't know until we try. Also, the definition of "undesirable"
often depends on some project-specific knowledge that is not
documented anywhere, and having the access more open would be an
incentive to get this documented.
I wouldn't want to get rid of the ownership model altogether, I think
there should be a specific person responsible for handling bug
reports/RFEs. When a group is responsible to handle something not
really pleasant to do, often no single member of that group feels
personally responsible.
