Maybe if the bug-owner field is removed, the package should be automatically dropped? __Either that__ OR make the only way for the bug-owner field to be removed is to remove the package first?

So...does that mean something like 46% of the packages in Tumbleweed have owners? or 54% of the packages in TW have someone responsible for them with regards to the release?
If we dropped all of them, there wouldn't be much of a distribution left... please don't start filing delete requests.
I wouldn't know how, TBH, but even if I did, I think the better option might be that the bug-owner has to remove the package from the distribution first, before they can remove themselves from the bug-owner field. I.e. default bug-owner = person responsible for a given package in the distro. If no one wants to be responsible, any longer, then .... But be clear that being responsible might just be check a bug report for validity and forward it upstream w/periodic pulsing... I.e. not really wanting to scare anyone off unnecessarily.
