With no QA to worry about, that might even be enough.

And less bureaucracy, no separate infrastructure to worry about and ability to 
reuse existing Fedora sponsorship instead of going through yet another 
community process might help attract more packagers. (I intentionally don't use 
the word "maintainers" here because I think more of a "bazaar" model where 
whoever feels able to fix a given security hole can do it, only membership in 
uberpackager (or maybe even only packager) required.)
