I'm not sure this is much of an issue. Maybe you could elaborate why you 
think so?

I'm not against the principle, but this isn't workable for javadocs. 
gcc-N-doc has separate source files and its own build system (and even a 
different, non-DFSG license). javadoc source is embedded in source code, 
and its build more or less tightly integrated with the binaries build 
system. Having different maintainers for those would mean duplicating 
the entire source code as a new source package, which is obviously not 
something that would be reasonable to do.
