I agree that this is a not a trivial process -- i.e. when we make 
a release we need to know that template X is now non-functioning 
and an update hasn't been received so email maintainer Y and 
remove it from roma until it is fixed. (Or something like that)

Would it make sense for us to discuss it at the face to face, 
decide how we think it should work, and then approach potential 
community contributors? EpiDoc was really just an example in this 
case. ;-) (But the obvious contributor as well. ;-) )
