We (Maemo Community) really need people with ability to promote packages which 
do not maintain (e.g not on maintainer list). See how log took to promote 
package rootsh, version 1.8 to Extras (more than year?). Old version in Extras 
had critical bug which cause not possible to uninstall package. And maintainer 
abandoned Maemo community, so nobody had permission for it!

I would like to see permission for promoting packages which I update and not 
wait while old maintainer give me needed permisstion!
