Well, if the package maintainer does not have time to do the
right thing, should he not be looking for another person to take over
the load? There was this heartfelt appeal from someone not so long
ago who was having trouble finding a package to maintain.
This is not a flame, and I am not pointing fingers; this is a
volunteer effort, and the real world does tend to intrude, and few of
us have the time we would like for this.
However, that is no excuse for sloppiness.
