It is a good idea, as the 'adoptee' could perhaps call on his mentor if
he 'got in trouble'. I have seen countless incidents of old editors who
seem to feel some form of 'ownership' of certain pages merely reverting
because someone saw something which they had not seen before and they
feel slighted.
I hasten to add that it varies from language to language, Portuguese the worst offender in my opinion. Therefore, it is a question of the culture that evolves among contributors and it is thus something that we can influnce by nipping in the bud in growing the Wikipedia in the various national languages.
