+1, I was thinking about this over the weekend. Mesos has recently been discussing adding MAINTAINERS files across the code to document who should be informed about changes within. I'm not sure Aurora is ready to go that far since generally it will either include all active committers or result in a subset of committers being on the hook for all reviews from first time contributors.
Establishing Shepherds seems like a good compromise.
