Hi Shruti,

Do you have any thoughts on the single-maintainer model vs team-based
package maintenance?
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.

Do you think anything should change here?  If yes, any thoughts on what?
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.
