Sorry, but I am personally very strongly against that.

As I maintainer, I never felt responsibile for -stable tree, and I believe
this is the case for many others (please feel free to speak up if you
disagree). My only objective is to have all the features and fixes land in
mainline in a timely manner and good quality.

This is definitely not a way how to avoid maintainer burnout, quite the
contrary.
