I agree. It would add a whole new dimension to NMU'ing, orphaning,
adopting, and salvaging packages with a large user base. For example,
currently most people would probably happily accept co-maintainers even
if they're confident that they could do the work alone -- but what if
adding a co-maintainer means that a potential stream of personal revenue
will be cut in half?
Best,
