I think no-one has had time. I recall several yea votes previously, so it just takes me/corinna/chris/chuck/ anyone else with write access to upload the packages. I don't recall who (if anyone) has sanity checked the packages for post-install scripts etc.
I don't have time to sanity check the packages, but will upload if an existing maintainer can confirm the sanity of said packages.
