The only downfall is you end up with lots of package/developer specific 
policies which may become complex and a nuisance. It is likely better to have 
more of a global policy.

Also it may start inching things towards restricting areas of the tree to said 
members of teams etc. Which starts to go in the opposite direction of Gentoo's 
roots of wide open access. To specifically encourage others to touch others 
stuff, and help everything move along faster. Development wise, not ricing out 
binaries...

I do think something like a maintainers notes URI in a metadata.xml file would 
be of use for many reasons. Not putting a bunch of rules or stuff in the 
metadata.xml file.
