This might be a good time to start discussing the possibility of having
"organization" ACLs (e.g. if a bunch of employees at FB, or Datto, or
another company -- or, say, an Apache project want to collectively
maintain packages).
-1 from me. It's people who maintain packages, not companies. We neither
grant maintainer privileges when somebody joins a company, nor do we
take them away when they leave. I don't think it's any issue for the
main maintainer of a package to add someone when necessary.
