Is the alternative the "owners" of the hex package?

Yes, it's very small percentage of packages that have different project maintainers and package maintainers. I believe having both maintainers and package owners causes more confusion than the value of the maintainers field provides.

Most packages provides links back to the original repository of the project where the maintainers can be reached.
