A package should not strictly need five people to be considered maintained. If it did, we would be back to "someone else will probably do it" type of problem. Especially for the smaller packages.
~ In many cases package maintainers in a given project do not care about all the other packages in the project, yet they are on the project maintainer list.
Yes; this is because the prj maintainer is the one equipped with the accept-new-package power.
~ Also many people have their Hermes notifications disabled as they get too many messages about packages they do not care, hopefully with the changes more people will re-enable their Hermes notifications (more on this below)
