Ask Xach or Luis or some other administrator of sharplispers.

A lot of projects only require light maintenance and a common pool of
maintainers make a lot of sense for them.

Only if you find a sucker^Wvolunteer. Every year there's a new kid in
the block who wants to curate CL libraries. So far, Xach is an
exception in actually doing it and sticking to it year after year.
Make Lispers cooperate is hard. Something about herding cats. Weak
coordination models work best in this context, otherwise you'll burn
out. My 2010 paper on ASDF had the subtitle "More Cooperation, Less
Coordination".

Those "organizers" who confuse coordination and cooperation will have
100% coordination for 0% cooperation. All costs, no benefits.
