R’amen to all of that. It is never pointed out enough that the core packaging teams are seriously understaffed. Please, before uploading your pet package to the archive, consider joining one of the packaging teams looking for more maintainers: eglibc, Mozilla, KDE, GNOME, Xfce, Utopia, Apache, Kernel… we all need help from more maintainers, and you don’t necessarily have to be an experienced developer to help. -- .''`.
