That's a reasonable point, and it's an experience I've not personally been on the receiving end of. But the flip side is reasonable too. Our governing metastructure is explicitly clear that: a) Projects are not mandatory, and b) That competing projects are allowed I don't see how we can limit overlays to just packages "owned" by the developers who own the overlay without violating those two policies.
