Yes, and we could start by really enforcing co-maintainership. Make it 100% mandatory for all essential, required and base packages at first. Co-maintainers are much closer to what is being done in a package than joe-random developer. Also, co-maintainership is far less prone to fire-and-forget uploads that hose things, and are nicer to people who feel very strongly about their packages. IMO, if we could reach a better level of resilience, lower response times, and agility with co-maintainership, it would be better than going to the extreme Ubuntu did. > Does Debian *want* it changed?
