It would be reasonable, on the beginning of each development cycle, to publish a list of packages which were not touched by it maintainer in previous release. For all these packages, new co-maintainer could stepped up and they would be granted the co-maintainers privileges automatically.
There are several packages I am the main maintainer of, but do not need any work from my side during a new release. Iirc at least for one package the co-maintainer usually updates it. So what is broken here? Imho the focus should be on untouched important bugs. If they pile up, then the maintainer needs help.
