Re: appropriate Maintainer addresses for collectively-maintained packages

Maybe update policy to say that if a package is MISSING a 'Maintainer:'

things, we could try to REMOVE things and attach semantics to that.

Then someone would have to remove the Maintainer field to make the package open for all DDs. That does not satify Andreas' wish that people can do drive-by uploads for a package they guess is unmaintained.
