Potentially interesting discussion, but I think I will be bothered
with it when we have more than 20 maintainers maybe. The golden rule
should be: the last who touched it should mend it (unless somebody
else mends it in the menawhile, but then she becomes the last who
touched it, so the golden rule above applies automatically).

We need more packagers before imposing more policies, IMHO.
