Thank you for this. This puts into very straightforward words a feeling I've had for ages but couldn't word well. In many projects I maintain outside Debian, I very frequently see this belief that if someone else contributes the work to make something possible (or it is otherwise perceived as "trivial" work), that there's no work for the maintainer, when it actually *does* increase the maintenance burden, often in ways the contributor cannot or will not see (or in some extreme cases, refuses to). ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4
