What you are saying is that it do not matter much if people can
be trusted or not as they normally only maintain some pet packages.
I joined in for Debian development on that premises and well I have
a couple of packages that quite a lot of people have installed.
Even a package that was a base package for some time.
And I did not have to qualify any extra bits to take over that
package(s).
If people just want to maintain a pet package they can do that
with help of a sponsor that do the checking.
