This wouldn't help anything. Every effort to
create a group that does general maintenance
in the past has fizzled out when most of the
participants lose interest. If we can't even
manage this for a few libraries that have no
active maintainer at all, it's completely
hopeless to try to establish it for even more
libraries.
