I would like to have this with a slight modificiation. If a package
FTBFS for at least a certain amount of time (e.g. two weeks) at the time
of Beta, then every provenpackager may just fix the bugs for another
certain amount of time (e.g. another two weeks) and if nobody fixes it
then it should be dropped. Or maybe we could have some kind of
"neglected packages task force", that may just in general fix bugs in
packages that are not fixed by the original maintainer. The advantage
over becoming co-maintainer of certain packages is then, that one does
not get all the noise about bugs that are already been taken care of by
the original maintainer.
