Yes, I am a very vocal advocate of team-based package maintenance. That 
may be because most of my contributions are with a well-functioning team 
like ruby-team. In ruby-team, we have regular sprints, regular 
housekeeping of packages, team taking care of packages even when the 
primary uploaders are unavailable, timely mentoring/sponsoring packages 
etc.

I know all the teams are not as functional as ruby-team, but I still 
think a group of people responsible for a package is better than a 
single point of failures. I think it is high time we move to 
team-maintenance. Having said that, I would like to hear what people who 
prefer single maintainer model have to say.
