Do you know how many calls for help have been thrown on the BTS, debian-devel and other places for mozilla, kde, openoffice and other big packages ? We, big-packages maintainers, are still waiting for collaborators... Sometimes, I wonder if the only way for that to happen wouldn't be to stop updating the package at all.
