I think this is a great suggestion. I would also like to see this happen.

Having the maintainers or authors of the packages submit their bumps
would ensure this does not become a burden for the central repository
maintainer.

An advantage of the maintainers of individual packages submitting
their changes is they know the best timing for integrating their
changes, and know what relevant details should be added to the bump
commit message.

Cheers,
