Debian has packages in collab-maint, where any Debian Developer can
make changes and upload them. In Debian, this is purely a social
convention because the project doesn't have ACLs for Debian
Developers, but there is a strong notion of package ownership despite
the lack of technical enforcement.
Perhaps Fedora package maintainers could set a flag on their package
which would grant access to anyone who maintains any other package?
This way, package maintainers could gradually reduce the need for
provenpackager privileges (similar to what Debian did with the
introduction of the Debian Maintainer role, which is also governed by
package ACLs).
I think this is overcomplex, IMHO. I think in general people who are
granted provenpackager do a good job, and where they don't they can be
educated and helped. Most any mistake can be corrected...
