I think that boils down to "I will only introduce packages that I will be able to maintain reasonably". For something people should sign, it is way to detailed, and we certainly don't want to get into the situation that we need lawyers to find out if someone is a bad maintainer or not. We already let people sign the SC (including the DFSG) - "We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free software community." In my understanding, that includes fixing bugs in a timely manner. The proposed text sounds fine as an addition to the developers reference, maybe as some foreword to chaper 3, "Debian Developer's Duties". We can also draft some NM template questions about it.
