I agree, though I'm afraid that some packagers may be reluctant to update some packages they are only a bit interested in, because they don't want to be automagically assigned as maintainers for these packages. It would be a shame if we were forced to drop packages because noone wants to maintain them, though I agree that having packages without maintainers is not a viable long-term solution. This said, I should really consider joining the dev team (after a bit of messing around with easy packages, though). Regards, Rémi / Akien
