9 bugs for 9 separate maintainers?  Or one maintainer with 9 bugs?  Or?
 Seriously, what would you consider reasonable to do in situations like
you described (but still haven't given specifics to)?

If you have an actual proposal, we can certainly review it.
Personally, I find situations like that to differ in the details
enough that I'm not sure there is a sufficient general solution.  It
seems to me asking FESCo to review those on a case-by-case basis would
cover most things.  It won't scale to hundreds of bugs or dozens of
maintainers, but if that starts being the case we've failed elsewhere.
