Consider a 'paradigm shift' here: instead of building series according
to intended custodians, one builds them according to functional
relationship. If a series needs one custodian more than the others,
he'll take it and ask for the others' ack. If there's a tie, this can be
resolved between custodians. If one foresees a tie, then one can
proactively suggest a resolution.

Seconded -- with the added note that we need coverage across all
architectures.
