Sure. In an ideal world we never would. In the real world it might be that someone is a new maintainer and wanting to work on a package that is very complex or sensitive without much background, or someone who the current maintainers know they differ on philosophy or something that would make working together difficult, or a maintainer who doesn't get along with upstream and would cause undue friction, or a maintainer who doesn't communicate with existing maintainers well, etc. kevin
