You want to attract packagers, not irritate them.
In my opinion, "irritating" is when a maintainer doesn't reply to bugs that users fill in Bugzilla. If they can't found enough time to reply or change state of any bug in a six months period, than maybe it is better someone else take care of their package.
This assumes there is a queue of ready and willing (and competent)
volunteers to take on packages that get automatically orphaned. Is
that true? I doubt it. If those people exist, why aren't they already
offering to co-maintain packages, or responding to some of those open
bugs?
I don't think those people exist. Not in significant numbers anyway.
Automatically taking away packages from inactive maintainers is
probably just going to mean even more work for a small handful of
people who already do tons of work for the distro anyway. They'll have
to take on all those orphaned packages, to ensure the distro keeps
working. I don't want to overload those people.
Being a volunteer doesn't mean to not have any responsibility.
