+This whole idea of 'touch a package, become its maintainer' assumes than 
+anyone modifying a package has an obvious interest in it. However, they 
+are case when you have rebuild a package just in order to accomodate for 
+changes you made somewhere else. For instance, rebuilding all packages 
+linked against a given library after updating this last one to a new 
+version...
