Well, so far, the system do not support this.
So either this supposed team is able to organise itself to have one of
the member to act as a gate to take maitainership and dispatch task, or
someone patch the maintdb script to have more than one person.
As long as "being managed by several people" will be seen the same way
as "maintained by nobody", we will have the same problem as mandriva.
Being maintained officially by someone do not prevent others to help.
So I do not see any good reason to have them marked as nobody.
