I proposed to use start+number of AS's in order to be consistent with the
proposed method to store networks, i.e., network + CIDR. However, upon
reflection, I agree that start-end is the better way to store the
information -- it eliminates the need for calculations to find an AS.

You're right. Why have a separate table? I think we should just have a
flag in the org table to indicate whether they are permitted to "allocate"
or not.  No maintainer; no separate table; just a maintainer_flag in the
organization information.
