Broadly it is a good idea, but with impl questions due to Pagure.

IIUC Pagure only allows for 1 "main admin" (owner). What would you suggest
if there are currently 2 (or more) "admin"s (co-maintainers). Arbitrarily
pick 1 of the many to promote? Or do nothing and let them choose ?

This is a problem I would hope our Pagure replacement will trivially fix
for us, on the dist-git side at least. Other forges don't typically have
a distinction between a single "main admin" and other "admins". Repos are
"owned" by the collective of all admins who are equal peers. So there's
no problem until the very last admin wants to leave.


With regards,
Daniel
