This seems to be a recurring proposal. I raised it 1 year ago (IIRC, sorry I'm too lazy right now to look the reference) and Raphael Hertzog pointed out to me that way before he advanced the same proposal. The counter-argument I received 1 year ago is that we do not want to make any easier to "maintain" orphaned packages, e.g., via QA uploads. While I somehow understand that point of view, I still consider the proposal a good idea, mainly because it technically facilitates resurrecting the packages for the future maintainer.
