Dropping the ownership model

["Jóhann B. Guðmundsson"]

What do people see as pros and cons continuing to use the current 
package ownership model?

Would it be practical to dropping it altogether which in essence would 
make every contributor an "proven packager"?

Would it be viable to move to something like language SIG based 
ownership of packages?

As in lower the barrier of entry of contributor without the need and or 
introduction of an package or any sponsorship and have them assigned to 
relevant SIG based on language they either know or want to learn. ( not 
necessarly having to tie packaging with code contribution ).

The governing body of the SIG would in essence be the once that would be 
responsible for the components.

So as an example a indvidual skilled in Java who would want to join the 
project would automatically be assigned to the java SIG which in turn 
would be assigned and managing all Java related components then the Java 
SIG based on what ever process/workflow they have decided would assign 
to that individual what ever task is needed at current times prioritized 
by the knowledge and resource they posses.

So basically the barrier of entry is no higher than what the individual 
wants to learn or knows already as in..

Do you know or want to learn python. Join the python SIG etc...

Do you want to learn distribution packaging join the Packaging SIG

Or the individual would learn how to package components relevant to the 
SIG he just joined

Thoughts?

Far off and totally crazy, you are mad!

What meds are you on can I have some?

The SIG approach is something that actually might work...
