I certainly don't expect a package maintained by a team to be marked as

allocating a gatekeeper or a team leader puts too many social pressures

seem appropriate. Also things don't happen automatically - such as all
the team members getting CC'ed on bugzilla etc which would make it quite
a lot of admin work for said gatekeeper on top of the actual bug fixes
which again I think is too much.
If the problem is just to have people added in CC automatically, without
being the maintainer, then we could use something else than maintdb for
this. We could probably have a file somewhere in svn where people list
the packages they are interested, and ask bugzilla to use this file to
automatically add CCs.
I like that idea, at least as a supplement to multiple maintainers ...
there are a lot of packages where I could help solve problems, but
wouldn't want to be a maintainer. I'm sure this applies to many others.
That would be really useful for bug fixes, for example.
But for big areas like gnome, kde, etc, it would be nice to have teams
of people who focus on maintaining those packages.
My 2 cents :-)
