For certain things, I think it would be very beneficial for this to be true (other dev's welcome to touch) across the tree. Maybe if there is enough general support for it, we should change our default of "never touch a maintainer's package without permission of the maintainer/herd", to "OK to touch unless package metadata explicitly requests not to" ...? And we can put a tag in the metadata to indicate this (or even to indicate what other dev's can and can't touch -- ie, can touch *DEPEND, can bump EAPI, cannot add features, cannot bump)?
