All the packages I upload (except the very first one or two packages) are team maintained. I just happened to upload most of them because I have more time to work on them. As long as the packages are in good shape, is the number of packages an issue? I know about the large number of packages and I always make efforts to bring new people to share the load. It is strange to have quantity of contributions used against the same person! I'd agree to the concern if I'm a bad maintainer or not responding to issues. How many of "my" packages are in bad shape? With rc bugs and auto removal, they can't remain in a stable release if they are in bad shape.
