I see concerns about to-be-orphaned ebuilds where proxied maintainers only care about the ebuild for a short period. This would only be a problem with new ebuilds that will be added to the tree with a proxy maintainer. Instead of encouraging that, this project could have a goal to reduce m-n packages by assigning proxy maintainers. So no new packages, only old ones revived. Sounds reasonable to me. Although I didn't read the full thread, so please don't decapitate me if there were other concerns.
