That's the fault of the people who don't do what they wanted to do.
Personnally I don't care (too much) about the flames when I think
that my idea/job is good. :)

That's true too. But we need to evolve as we keep growing. And there
are many people that are working ... but the work is not something that
you can see as easily as flames on lists.

It's described in the developers-reference :
3.2 Retiring Gracefully
If you choose to leave the Debian project, you should make sure you do the
following steps:
1.Orphan all your packages, as described in Orphaning a package,
Section 9.4.
2.Send an email about how you are leaving the project to
debian-private@lists.debian.org.
3.Notify the Debian key ring maintainers that you are leaving by
emailing to keyring-maint@debian.org.
Orphaning a package means uploading it with the
"Debian QA Group <debian-qa@lists.debian.org>" as the Maintainer field.
Cheers,
