I could see this fitting in to the proxy-maintainer herd if they would consider a change in their current purpose. Their current statement is [1]: "Proxy maintainers is a group of developers maintaining abandoned packages on behalf of Gentoo users." Changing this to something like: "Proxy maintainers are a group of developers maintaining packages on behalf of Gentoo users and fellow developers." This would of course require additional changes in protocol for the herd. As it stands now they focus solely on user interaction with developers. Expanding this to developer owned packages would meet your intent of allowing fellow developers to assist with your packages. Metadata would also reflect your ownership of the package and add proxy-maintainers to <herd>. Thoughts?
