In general, +1.

Discussion points:

* How do maintainers get added to the elevated group?

N number of people in the elevated group vouch for them.  I think a good 
number of N is 2.

* What maintainers are grandfathered in?

We need to ensure that packagers that sometimes need to touch a large 
portion of packages that they don't own (for dependency rebuilds, 
package cleanup, rel-eng, etc) are still able to.

* Formal process for revoking access.

We should probably have a way to revoke access in the unlikely case 
someone goes postal...

I think the idea is right, but it could be better organized.  Bulleted 
lists make things easy to see.  Something like....
