how true, but anyway debian has some instances that are essential for
the project, and therefore have much more responsibility than others.
if people agree to take over such positions, they should be aware of the
fact, that it will include some work. if work grows to much, or they're
running out of time, debian should consider about changing policies,
maybe enlarging the ftpmasters team, etc.
but before that, ftpmasters shouldn't hide those problems, but talk about
them and - above all - solve them!

when teammates don't give a fuck (they still didn't answer in the name
of ftpmasters), criticism is essential, and if nothing changes, maybe
the individuums on these possitions need to be replaced.
the only sad thing is, that current individuums don't address this on
their own.
