What do you think? I think something like this is inevitable with the ever-growing number of packages and users or we end up with the situation like we have today, with thousands of outdated packages without maintainers or with inactive/busy maintainers listed.
I think the main problem is that the total amount of energy spent on maintaining packages is low, and I don't see how the grouping will help it.
Also, the commitment of being maintainer of a group of packages seems significantly larger than for a single package. The change may rather dissuade people from becoming a maintainer at all, as they may be only interested in a few particular packages and not e.g. in all games we have.
