IMHO we would be better off eliminating the notion of 'main admin' entirely and have all co-maintainers be at the equal level, so there is no need for a dance to give packages to comaintainers. There should only be manual action needed if the last comaintainer quits.
The bugzilla default assignee notwithstanding, I am afraid that this would create 2 more problems:
1) I've seen packages with 15+ nonrepsonsive co-maintainers. Currently I am glad that I can "just" process 1 non-responsive maintainer thing to get it orphaned. If a new maintainer takes it, they can clean the ACL cruft. And if an old maintainer takes it, at lest now they are the ones with "responsibility". If nobody takes it, it gets retired and the ACLs are moot. win-win-win. How would this work in this "common ownership" scheme?
2) I've seen packages maintained by groups. If the group does not regularly triage their bugzillas or if all of the bugzillas are not miraculously solved by one "hero", such buzgillas tend to rot. Everybody assumes the others are responsible. Many group members don't even read bugzilla email for their group. Often, FAS accounts of long-gone folks are assigned as admins and the group is set as the main bugzilla contact. This makes contacting somebody who will care extremely hard for a bug reporter. (I've also seen groups where this works well, but they are usually either very well organized or 1-person groups.)
