I don't think that it will be a problem in reality. Active maintainers update their packages which means that someone else doesn't need to. A quick "mind if I update your package" is (and has been) sufficient for a takeover...As long as we follow this simple protocol there isn't a problem. Unresponsive maintainers have always been worked around in the way we're talking about now: by simply building and releasing their packages to take them over. This change isn't about making package takeover a free-for-all.
