All I wanted to say is that the current state is disingenuous at best,
and misleading at first.

By having @java-maint-sig as one of the admins of a package (and for
most of them, also the default bugzilla assignee), while that group
doesn't really function any longer, a false expectation of "there's a
whole group of people maintaining this package", while the reality is
closer to "zero or maybe one person might be looking at this package
once a year".

I'd rather have the group start from zero now, and start *adding*
packages again that are actually really needed, wanted, and
maintained.

This should also be a less daunting prospect for potential packagers
who are now just lurking on the sidelines, because they can't commit
to helping maintain 100+ packages (I actually know that there's a few
of those - thank you for contacting me off-list. you know who you are
:) )
