Easy thing. i tried to help ftp-masters on some case which where important and
where packages got undully retained in NEW for long time (and these where the
powerpc kernels, which on two occasions had a >1 month waiting time in the
past, and the kernel-latest-powerpc metapackages, which will not be used by
d-i because of the >1.5 month waiting time), and i didn't get a single reply
to this.
And do you seriously think that the ftp-master team would have been expanded
like it has, if the issue would not have aired publicly recently ? I have some
doubts about it.
