I'm unfamiliar with the limitations of the accounts/grouping/packagedb
system, but if we can have the accounts system enforce a requirement
that members of one group must be a subset of another group (e.g.
perl-sig group members must be members of the cla-done group), would
this satisfy the requirement that all package owners have signed
CLA's?  Can we have a group own a package?

I'm buying what Ralf is saying here: to attempt to have collective
ownership via individual ownership and extensive co-maintainers is
another variant of "dirty hacks".

Of course, I may be totally misunderstanding how the systems work
together here :)
