Given the workload on many core packages, I think it's not really reasonable to expect to have a big team responsible of many packages. I rather like the fact that we have smaller teams each dedicated to very few core packages. People can move from teams to teams and be part of multiple teams if needed. You can't have quality if you don't have 2-3 volunteers feeling personaly responsible for a given package.
