+i agree, maintainership should be done manually. but preferably with some kind 
+of package search and checkboxes, to select multiple ones. (to minimize the 
+work; i can't see jq finding package by package and selecting himself for it)
+
+sophie already keeps packager data, afaik.
+
+if the work with searching package and checkboxes is too much work at this 
+time, perhaps we could enable "that autosetting code" for a short while so 
+that most are set.
