I very strongly agree with this, but there have been issues with it in the
past, due to people leaving the project, vacations, hiatus, they become a
bottleneck.  But conceptually, maintainership seems like a very good idea to
me.  If I considered myself the maintainer of a set of recipes, I'd do my
best to ensure that they're always buildable and the recipes are always up
with current conventions.  *shrug*
