+
+I think the attempts to get more official partnerships by Samuel and
+yourself are very valuable, but by the same token, I think we need to
+accept that having a single maintainer for some packages just doens't
+make sense.
+
+For example things like initscripts, udev, systemd etc. should be
+maintained by a "core" team, and IMO, not a single person (tho' if
+someone steps up and is proven to be reliable then this is obviously not
+a bad thing per-se!). I'm certainly happy to help out here.
+
+This is a bit OT for this thread tho'... :)
