+Sound sensible, yes.
+
+The idea IMHO is not to prevent people for doing the work if they wish,
+but if there is no volunteer, it should be the duty of someone, and this
+someone is the maintainer.
+Now, we do not have a official maintainer db, but the test instance is
+still here afaik. So yes, picking someone from the list of person that
+committed would do the trick.
