'temporary' package

[Niklas Hambüchen]

It's also worth mentioning that Hackage 2 has a nice "multiple
maintainers" functionality, see for example this:

   http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tasty/maintainers/

It's not a very visible feature though, the package page doesn't like it
and it's not visible how many maintainers a package has (where having
more than one could be a good quality metric that maybe should be
advertised).

How about automatically bothering single maintainers with a "do you not
want to add another maintainer on Hackage" email once they exceed some
popularity threshold?

As an example, the "6289 downloads in last 30 days" would make a nice
popularity indicator.
