I understand what you want to say, I know that probably some people apply for
@debian.org account, but we are underestimating the fact that many wannabe
maintainer start packaging a lot of software because they read documentation
about application that still talks about some weeks and no other obstacles (in
positive sense ;) ). The result is that Debian distro loses packages and
people, because no reply at all frustrates and package that are ready will
become old.
