There's a middle-ground here which I like, myself. 1.5) the package x maintainer(s) is responsible to find all packages y and posts a todo list on the dashboard
I like this method, but at the same time, it requires one to constantly scan the todo lists to see if a package of yours is there.
A slight variation on this is to the todo list + what Damir did.. post to a todo list and *also* put a post on the arch-dev-public list. This way people get push notification, and also a place to track what they've done and what they haven't. - P
