Personally I think a tag in metadata to show that a package can be touched by others freely would be much more useful than having a big herd with a mix of packages that are not even related. If people usually don't have time to fix the tons of packages that lacks a maintainer (and, then, they could also fix them without asking for permission), I doubt that new herd would get much real help :(
