Yeah, I think it's headed in the right direction.  One thing I would suggest
is that the lead maintainer(s) for a module be granted checkin privileges.
You mentioned python-dev.  It's high-traffic enough that the list admins
should notice pretty quickly if a module's maintainer's email address goes
bad.  That would allow someone to start tracking them down before it's been
18 months since anyone's heard from Joe X. Emell.
