I consider this one closed by PMC action.

There is no rub - ownership of code is collective, not individual.
However, as an individual, I'm happy to assume the responsibility
of finishing what I start - so if I start making a change to a stable
package, I will leave it in a stable form - success or rollback.

Why do you need to designate individual maintainers of pieces of code?
Isn't that the problem which damn near shattered Avalon previously,
when we had a number of prima donnas and fiefdoms?
