I wanted sagemath in Debian. So I started packaging things left and right, and because of that, I'm now a DD with my hands in the Debian Python Team, the Debian JavaScript Team and the Debian Science Team. And I need to be in those teams to do anything useful. If there had already been a Debian Math Team at that time, I would have needed to join too -- one more team! And I think that's Stuart's point : someone who is either a bug-hunter (yes, some like it) or who is aiming at a large target (dropping Python 2, packaging a beast) will need to be part of all teams involved, and having too many of them is adding to the chore. I'm not sure that's a strong issue, though. Cheers, J.Puydt
