Well, if you don't need those other packages then you just skip 
rebuilding them to see if anyone needs them. If not then we don't have a 
problem, they will be dropped :/ If anyone sees that this breaks some 
functionality in his/her packages then (s)he needs to rebuild them and 
will become maintainer.

Or we need some optional maintainership status.. like 
username-forced(-to-be-maintainer). So that other maintainers know they 
can help or take over package.
