I think that viewpoint is somewhat at odds with how we administer PP status. If PP status were intended to be /only/ for the reason given in the original requests, then it seems to me that in some cases PP status would be something inherently time limited and thus revoked after the stated reason is satisfied. That isn't how we handle it though. PP status defaults to indefinite, except for our periodic purge of inactive + uncontactable people. Thus, to me the reason given when applying to PP status is merely a point in time example. It is a way to judge whether the person's initial intent is sensible, and perhaps a bar against which to evaluate their early actions as PP. Assuming they've proven themselves trustworthy initially, PP status is effectively "for life" (assuming no bad faith actions), and the initial reason isn't something that limits what they are expected to do long term. This is similar to how a person being sponsored into the packager group has their first package review as the justification. Once they're past that hurdle, they can do any task for which a packager has rights, on any package they become (co)maintainer of, not be limited to just the initial package.
