Easy thing. i tried to help ftp-masters on some case which where important and where packages got undully retained in NEW for long time (and these where the powerpc kernels, which on two occasions had a >1 month waiting time in the past, and the kernel-latest-powerpc metapackages, which will not be used by d-i because of the >1.5 month waiting time), and i didn't get a single reply to this. And do you seriously think that the ftp-master team would have been expanded like it has, if the issue would not have aired publicly recently ? I have some doubts about it.
