Overall, projects work if the members are active. Of course, they don't
if not.

So, whether a package is assigned to a project, a sole-maintainer, or
co-maintainers means others will *unlikely* attempt to fix or bump the
package. Of course, we know that some devs will inevitably bump the
package when it get's in their way or they use it directly.

However, if the package is assigned to maintainer-needed then
proxy-maintainers, random contributors, and other Gentoo devs will feel
more comfortable touching it.

I believe the system works...

I will happily revert my change on the graphics project Wiki as you may
want to remove the other inactive members or recruit some folks to join
the project. Then possibly pick up the stray packages that others
haven't taken.
