With the current way we do things, no one even *can* take care of special parts because only 2 or 3 people have commit access and it's a PITA to contribute by squashing all your commits into a patch and bumping the ML till one of those 2 or 3 people have time to act on it. With a more open/social-type project site, you'll get people making forks to implement a feature, then they'll make a pull request, which others will see and then they will try this feature and test it, and so on. All of this can happen without having to wait for one of the 2 or 3 committers to review and apply a patch.
I'm afraid you got me wrong. I was looking for somebody saying, I'm feeling responsible for XYZ. Adding them to commiters list on SF currently is not a big deal. Even its sometimes a pain in the ass, also branching on svn is possible and working. So I'm not talking about sending patches, but feeling responsible and taking care of which differs a lot IMHO.
