The "core team" is not a list of people who do some fixed set of work.  It's
post-facto determined by the people who are doing the work that goes into on
perl5.git, pretty much.  If things aren't maintained by the core team now, they
won't start being maintained by the core team just because we put them in a
list.

Further, just because something is already in the core itself doesn't mean that
it's getting any maintenance.

I don't think this solves anything.
