Good point. I think, just like you, that there should be a list of owners
rather than just 1 owner.
I think anyone who can update ACLs should be effectively considered an
owner.

This is really a separate issue, but FWIW, I agree with you on this point as
well.
It's also possible now to have a package with no owner, but co-maintainers.
