I think it's important enough to maintain it in Debian; but the effort of joining and taking part in another substantially-sized project is almost certainly more than I have available. The effort-to-benefit ratio of maintaining my non-free packages in Debian is pretty good. Be careful not to confuse "we are willing to maintain non-free in Debian" with "we would take part in non-free.org". They're definitely not the same thing. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
