I like the idea.
Frankly, I've never quite understood this "hands off my package"
attitude. As long as someone isn't breaking my package (and is fixing
it if they do), I am happy to have an NMU. After all, it's one less
thing I have to do to it, right?
I do get extremely irritated when someone NMUs my package and breaks
it and disappears. But that's only happened a couple of times to me.
