One problem may be that there aren't maintainers for various subsystems; various people have contributed bugfixes and patches for, say, urllib, but I have no idea what single person I would go to for a problem.

Is it worth creating a wiki page listing people and the modules they're responsible for? Or does something like this already exist?

I'd rather have this kind of ownership information attached to the individual module documentation, so interested parties don't have to go hunting around in the wiki for it.

It would also be helpful to have some loose guidelines/requirements for how to become a module maintainer (e.g., "we're looking for the following traits...").
