Why not have a field for primary/secondary maintainer ?
By default, the first maintainer would be primary, subsequent 
maintainers secondary.
This field being changable as desired.
That way, there is total flexability to have whatever mix of 
primary/secondary maintainers the group of packagers for a particular 
package wishes.

I suspect that it would be better to have a separate database for this 
than mageia-app-db, to avoid contamination of errors, etc.
By keeping it separate, the packagers would have total control to 
maintain the list according to what is actually packaged by Mageia.
Note that mageia-app-db will probably be listing 3rd party packages, not 
carried by mageia.
In any case, it would be better to have a separate table for packager info.

my 2 cents :)
