You haven't uploaded a single package to the pure64 apt archive. Thats
what it shows. No more no less.
I didn't mean for this list to be exclusive but its the people that
have done all the work building the 7532 existing packages and that
would have to do it again with the changed name. There a many more
people working on the debian-amd64 port, esspecially people working on
multiarch. The list is just the pure64 uploaders.
I know you have provided a lot of work and a lot of that has entered
the pure64 archive and we are all thanfull for it and welcome it.

Likey. But they would not be directly involved in rebuilding pure64
with a different arch name and I can't judge their experience in
regard to an overview of all packages. The people above have build,
uploaded, patched, and reported bugs on a lot of packages and have
used the current pure64 build infrastructure on alioth.
