Currently Jonathan Wiltshire is official DM for that package.
I'm sure he makes a good job as DM. But other packages might have higher
priorities. He do not response in time and in some topics never. As
upstream maintainer I miss the dialog with "my distro maintainer". Also
there was a RFS [2] without concrete response/decision. It wasn't clear
to me if it wasn't uploaded because of the Freeze or just because no one
was there to do it.
(just for the avoidance of confusion, I'm an entirely different Jonathan)
You're very likely correct that the freeze impacted the upload. To
upload newer versions of software (even for bug fixes) so late in the
freeze, you have to write a proper justification to the release team and
convince them that the benefit of the upload outweighs the risk, so in
the last few weeks of the freeze, very few packages get updated.
Adding DPT to at least uploaders and having the package VCS in the
python-team namespace would probably be a good idea, but that's up to
Jonathan Wiltshire.
