The point is that we need to grow the pkg-games team, getting an extra
person in exchange for a single package is probably a worthwile
tradeoff.

Perhaps Mark Page will rectify that :)

chromium-bsu is hardly finished, polished or has great code quality,
personally I think it is still worth having in Debian and if I had
left the upstream project to rot instead of removing the non-free
stuff and reviving upstream it would be very sad. Same goes for
protozoa, alex4 and packages I maintain outside of the games team.
