Easy: - You maintain a package that depends on this, and you want to be kept "in the loop" on changes/bugs just in case they necessitate changes of your own - You're maintaining an independent overlay that contains derivative forms of stuff in ::gentoo, and so bugs that affect one likely affect the other Neither of these pass for 'maintainer' because they have no authority with regards to the package in question. So the nested sets basically communicate the level of authority one has, the outer one having the least, and the inner one having an authority that transcends gentoo.
