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
