Are you going to volunteer to do/oversee that?
Nope. My volunteering these days is difficult, much more important than any Linux distro, and not bothered with by about 98% of the population to which it's crucial. I'm blowing off time I really should be working to do this volunteerism, and have no remaining time to learn package-managership and then herd all the cats into accepting my packaging solutions. If I sound like an asshole, it's because I've had a very frustrating several days, during which no good deed I did went unpunished.
