I think a tagging system for packages and the specific operations you 
enumerate are separate.  Having a tagging system would be useful as 
well.  Or even a query language:: please set all packages named=java-* 
owned_by=user:walters to owned_by=group:java-maint

This is a bit of blue sky, though, unless someone's interested in 
working on it.
