Designating someone as responsible for a certain thing doesn't work in a volunteer project, unless they agree to do it. But if they want to do it, there's nothing stopping *any* existing committer or non-committer from deciding they care about e.g. the audio/ category and working on fixing everything within it. Indeed, there are a number of people who decided they care about fixing the entire ports collection and started working on monitoring or fixing the numerous problems with it. Mark and Oliver are two such examples, who were non-committers when they started doing this (and eventually became committers as a result of doing a job that needed doing).
