I think Luis meant it more as a ball park figure rather than a hard limit.
That is, people should only maintain as many packages as they can actually
manage and not set themselves as maintainer for a package for reasons of
seeing their name in print.
Also, in debian for example it is not easy to become a maintainer as all
of the 'fun' packages are taken already. I don't think we are in such a
luxorious position yet.
Cheers,
Remco
