Yes, that's the normal way of updating the database but surely it must be possible to re-assign packages directly in the database. I assume pkginfo data is never used again by us so it doesn't matter much if someone downloads a package and queries it for the old maintainer. When forking Dago also ran every package through a script to rebuild pkginfo data so even that isn't that hard if deemed necessary.
