please read our "unwritten policy" about Maintainer field at
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonModulesTeam/HowToJoin
Anyone is free to do whatever they want in their spare time, even set
themselves as maintainer for a tool they're packaging, and then let
the project handle their departure: that happened many times, and it
won't be fixed by a false sense of team-maintanership when someone
steps up, do a huge change in a package he doesn't care and then run
away (extreme hypothesis - we would be in the same situation as of
now: the team would fix the issues arising.
