I like the idea, but I don't think I would have guessed that a command
named `package-maintainers' would do that.  Not that adding an item is
that drastic of a move anyway.  Then again, mixing in the word "kill"
(kill-package-maintainers, package-kill-maintainers,
package-maintainers-kill, ...) doesn't help either...
