Maybe there should be some policy such as, when devs retire if no one

I agree that packages shouldn't be removed or moved because they have no
active developer maintaining them - that is going to take the value of
portage down quite a lot. Outdated packages do too, but not in quite the
same way.
I like the idea of a list or mailing list of developers willing to

So maintain it. You don't need to be a dev to write an ebuild, and
there are enough devs who are happy to throw an eye over user
It can be somewhat difficult to find someone to look over and commit an
ebuild on an unmaintained package though - the several times i've done that
have involved tracking down developers with previous commits to the package
or who are active in the category and trying to find one who isn't retired
