Sound sensible, yes.
The idea IMHO is not to prevent people for doing the work if they wish,
but if there is no volunteer, it should be the duty of someone, and this
someone is the maintainer.
Now, we do not have a official maintainer db, but the test instance is
still here afaik. So yes, picking someone from the list of person that
committed would do the trick.
