We, particularly the Foundation Board (who have *nothing* to do with this at
all), can not impose this kind of arbitrary decision on maintainers. We can
encourage it, we can say that it's a good idea, etc., etc., but we can't
enforce or impose it.
(Personally, I don't even think it makes sense for every module. It's a nice
idea, but we should deal with problems as they arise, and maintainers should
be the people making the decisions about how to maintain their modules.)
