Hm...  but why couldn't we do that?

I realize that there are cases where the importer of a package is not
the intended owner, but normally that is the exception.  The most common
of these is when a sponsor imports a package for a person that is
awaiting their CVS access.  Once said person gets their access, they
could easily change the owners.list file themselves.

Automagically creating the entry on import would at least ensure that
the component gets created.  We can always fixup the owners when needed.

Thoughts?
