+So this mean it's preferred, that for example:
+
+- I grab mysql and httpd
+- I do as i see fit
+- contributions to httpd (which happen), will have to ask me before doing it.
+- since i only wanted to help, i may do a bad job of maintaining it, ie: not 
+enough fixes, don't respond to others who want to patch httpd, etc...
+- perhaps i only care about stable and don't do anything on cauldron
+- i could change apache layout for cauldron to debian-style, which i think is 
+better.
+
+etc...
+
+Personally, i think it's better that it gets done properly. having such a big 
+responsibility is a pretty big point...
+
+but otoh, i don't have a better idea...

+PS: as a side note, devs of /soft stuff should also be their packagers and 
+maintainers; it seems so weird that eg: mgaonline doesn't have a maintainer? 
+when it's arguably the most visible package of mageia itself?
+(as an example, i wrote urpmi-proxy and plasma-applet-launchbutton and i am 
+listed as maintainer for it as well)
+
+PPS: or perhaps a dev team should be formed and that team leader could be 
+listed as maintainer of all dev packages that are now in nobody. and the 
+people working on packages in /soft could be in the dev team...
