Workable for a certain category of packages so long as it's advisory
only. Arch teams need to be allowed to override maintainers where
appropriate, and in some places (eg toolchain, kernel) the concept of
maintainer arch is utterly irrelevant.
And "maint" as a name? Yick. "maintainer" or "owner" maybe.
