Exactly, I agree with that. The size isn't our problem, the size is only
the factor that let us discover our real problem : the infrastructure
not adapted. We have still many things to do until we have an
infrastructure really adapted to let everyone (even people outside of
debian) contribute and to let several people co-maintain packages.
However we're going towards that direction :
- look at the Package Tracking System (PTS) I implemented (with the help
of Anthony Towns for the BTS modification)
- look how Anthony is trying to demistify the NMUs
I'm also going to continue to work in that direction. I already have
some projects in mind. They'll be known in due time.
