I think the only way to achieve something like this for maintainership we need to drop the ownership module so either nobody owns a package/component in the project or relevant SIG owns the package.
We can already do this. People that want to help co-maintain other packages can ask as long as they are a packager. For packages I am the designated owner, I am happy to accept help.
One area where we could probably do more advertising for is getting new packagers via the co-maintainer route. I think most of the new packagers still come in by packaging a new package. I think we really want most of the new packagers coming in as co-maintainers.
