Fixing: Filing  patch merge requests as soon it's implemented. But this
seems to be about "taking maintainership" which is another story.

Write permission may only be given by the current maintainers of the project
to others. So the trust is given to the new maintainer by the person
that is already trusted. I think that's ok. 

OTOH I agree with Adrian that we must not simply switch maintainer through
admin power.

Yes, but that's also ugly.

Having just thought about the /requests/ API path we could have a 
"This seems to be a rotten project" request that triggers $ACTION.

Ideas?
