I don't think anyone suggested that the package owner should required to
do it all _personally_ -- just that the package should have no AVC
denials in order to pass review.

So the only people who would be excluded would be those who are
unwilling or unable to seek help from others when the task before them
exceeds their abilities. Which would probably be a good thing.
