There is "code stewardship program" and its

it's successful, sometimes it's not. I have been asking for a
maintainer for FlaggedRevs for four years now, beta cluster is
suffering from a similar situation, etc. etc. It takes time to find
an owner for everything, to fill the gaps in places we don't have a
team to handle those (e.g. Multimedia, you can't just hand over that
to team responsible for security for example). More info at

My very personal impression is that the Code Stewardship Review process
currently lacks decision authority and senior leadership support within
the WMF. It's not an engineering problem but a business problem.
Decisions themselves can sometimes be easy. Making them happen not so.
