Teams are positive (we have more than 50 at this point !), and avoiding
orphaned packages is a nice initiative. Feel free to propose a pr with a

Just remember that a single person team has little utility, and you’ll
have to gather extra manpower around the team, which will strongly
depend on its interest for a larger community.
