That would be nice if it was not in fact already tried at Mandriva since
years.
First, the main problem is that we do not really know if something is
unmaintained or not, because the maintainer db information mean nothing
in practice since that's by design.
Several people had the impression that contribs was low quality, due to
bugs, and lack of reaction from maintainer. Which is indeed a
consequence of having no maintainer for some packages. No matter how you
spin it, "this is not taken care of" sound bad.
So we tried enough the policy of optimism. Enough to know that in the
end, it just result in more problems, and it doesn't solve much.
