I find the idea interesting, as well. I believe the concept also
breaks down for native, and native-like, packages.
DDs are (perhaps?) the ones most likely to see software needs in the
Debian ecosystem.
Suppose DD-A sees a need and writes useful software DebFoo for Debian.
Would they be permitted to package it, or would DD-B need to package
it?
Food for thought.
