Good point. I think, just like you, that there should be a list of owners
rather than just 1 owner.
As people know, my default position is for inclusion: we should try
to
include as many packages in Fedora that we can, except where there is
a legal or insuperable technical problem with that.
So I think it's valid for packages to have 0, 1, 2, or more
maintainers.
If #maintainers == 0 then the package is either just sitting there (as
long as there are no serious bugs), or is being best-effort maintained
by provenpackagers, at least until that becomes a burden and only then
should the package be dropped.
This is really a separate issue, but FWIW, I agree with you on this point as
well.
