How does this combine with the ebuild categories? After all it makes sense 
that e.g. the desktop team is resposible for kde-* and gnome-*. If a 
developer from another team adds an ebuild to these categories, should his 
team be named as maintainer? Should he transfer maintanence to a desktop 
developer? What about developers who are part of more than one team?
