Well, except, it clearly *does* work that way. We have many
lightly-maintained packages in practice. I think it's better to label them
as such and find positive ways to encourage the collaboration I think we all
agree is best, rather than the current state where we basically just pretend
that everything is maintained with high attention.


I'm not sure anyone's pretending.

In my experience distros that spilt up into many repos add complexity (and mistakes) on the releng side and a poor UX for the users.

If we had labels in Pagure for the packages that you consider to be troublesome, would that help?
