  read, e.g., /usr/share/doc/mutt/copyright (and many many others):

    This package was originally debianized by Stephen Pitts 
    <pitts2@memphisonline.com> on Thu, 14 Nov 1996 19:04:20 -0600.

    The next debian maintainer was J.H.M. Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>.

    Current debian maintainer is Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it> (since sept. 1998).
