This is happening already. I'm not saying it's perfect but I don't see anyone working on a better solution either. And yes, I'm talking about real life situation when the only <maintainer/> in the package left was this 'upstream watcher'. I suppose an alternative solution there would be to return to explicit logical marking as <maintainer-needed/>. > On the other hand, random non-upstream people that don't have any > defined function related to the package aren't maintainers.
