OK.

I meant to say that 2 maintainers per package is ideal and desirable situation 
which is not necessarily true for every single package in team. :)

Perhaps not enthusiastically enough I expressed my interest and I'm willing to 
prioritise if you feel that I should. But I'm only one person so I'll move 
glmark2 to collab-maint within few days.
I only regret about my little contribution to the team's existing packages.
Perhaps if I were more active you would be less concerned about 
maintainability...

Not at all, I think they were straightforward and sincere. :)
I respect that.

No worries.
