Collective Maintaince Proposal

 * FESCo rejected the collective maintaince proposal (1) for now. They had some concerns about the extra bureaucracy, and they wanted to see how the new maintainer containment policy (2) and opening acls (3) to packagers helps first, since these are to be implemented in the very near future.  If there is still a problem, this proposal could be revisited.
