In my personal packaging experience that wouldn't really help, as all packages that I have been involved in, have been or are maintained by a single person, irrespective of the number of admins. And once it gets orphaned, none of the "ordinary" admins pick it up. But that's just my experience, yours might (and probably does) differ. >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.
