LOL! Since when does it matter whether someone wants ownership of a
deliverable or not? Do you work in some kind of utopian democracy? :-)
Management should decide who owns it, and then make it part of their
performance review. But if management doesn't care, then no wonder
nobody else cares.
I'm not sure who is in the best position to update this stuff, but
doesn't your company have managers who are well paid to allocate
resources and solve problems like this? (actually, I don't know your
company, so maybe I am off base).
