This might be an interesting first-step. I think it's important to address different points in the process. This distribution work may be useful as a way for me to learn the distribution landscape a bit more and one I can probably do in the short-term. What I can do is interview various packagers and maintainers on the desktop teams and compile their feedback together into a report of sorts.
