Encouraging co-maintenance.

There are two different concepts here: co-maintainer (when a distribution is actively released by several people) and adopter (when someone takes over a distribution someone else has abandonned).

Both go well with the notion of badges, too.

Even the worst guesser is right once in a while. (Moral from Groo The Wanderer #72 (Epic))

But I think a nice simple list is just as Gabor suggested: the number of dists where you've done a release, and weren't the original releaser.

or to even fine tune it: the number of dists where you have done the most recent release and weren't the original released.

Now there are two lists :)
