I think it's also necessary to attract new area specific maintainers
and I'm sure that there are people interested to take over that right
and responsibility. IMHO it just takes too much time until somebody
is trusted enough to be able to maintain and review area specific code.
However, nobody brings him/herself into this position. What's missing
are more and earlier invitations from the existing, active maintainers.
