Personally, I think that modules should have deputy maintainers or co-maintainers. This should be done by module maintainers just by talking to the other people interested in their work and selecting one to have "emergency" CVS access. Most of my modules have a clear 2nd (and sometimes 3rd) in line. I'll review the rest and find more people for the rest.
+1...I don't think it's too onerous of a recommendation to have a 2nd person with CVS commit access. Might not necessarily happen, but perhaps when we get some more time we can institute a review process that scans for inactive (i.e. no commits) projects every quarter.
That seems reasonable to me. Just listing it on the "how to maintain a module in CVS" page in the handbook (or whatever it's called) as a recommended good idea would be helpful and not intrusive.
