My point of view is: If there are people wanting to do the work, why not let them? It costs almost nothing to just let people commit and build what they want, the infrastructure is essentially already there. Right now, we're stuck in a chicken&egg situation, where the people controlling the infrastructure say "show us interested maintainers first" and potentially interested packagers say "show us the infrastructure first".
Okay...if you start with enough maintainers... how do you plan to verify that you continue to have enough maintainers to hold a branch open? Without a firm timeline on when to close a branch.. will we ever see a branch close?
