Well comes logically to me that at least the maintainer would be 
stripped of those packages he is ignoring.

I would think this work directly falls under releng jurisdiction ( given 
that releng is ultimately responsible for the bits being shipped to end 
users and at the same time are the once most familiar with the inner 
packaging process ) in accordance with what FPC or FESCO decide.

How does FPC handle packagers that violate the packaging guidelines?
