+I like that idea, at least as a supplement to multiple maintainers ... 
+there are a lot of packages where I could help solve problems, but 
+wouldn't want to be a maintainer.  I'm sure this applies to many others.
+That would be really useful for bug fixes, for example.

+But for big areas like gnome, kde, etc, it would be nice to have teams 
+of people who focus on maintaining those packages.
+
+My 2 cents :-)
