Right, but we have a process to identify inactive maintainers. If there is no maintainer left, the package is orphaned. The ownership should never be moved to the group. It is much harder to identify identify packages which are assigned to certain group, because the groups often are active.
And as I said, being member of ruby-packagers-sig, it is not straight forward to remove group from packages. Even though it has admin privileges, it cannot be removed from the package by the group member. Maybe I should report this somewhere officially ...
I think the best thing we can do is match up the people who care with the packages they care about. Using main admin as a indicator of who cares for the package doesn't seem right to me. You can definitely have cases of packages where multiple people work on it, or cases where just one person does, but they aren't the main admin.
But this is typically problem of inactive maintainers. And I am looking forward to the current activity of identifying the inactive packagers. I truly believe this cleanup will help to deliver better content.
Anyhow, the only real reason we need main admin is that bugzilla needs 1 specific user to assign bugs to. Perhaps we could consider this when/if we ever move off bugzilla.
