Quoting Neil Williams <codehelp@debian.org>:
If you are going to be the Debian Maintainer for this package, you should be able to at least understand error reports from the package which is very difficult if you don't understand the interpreter output in the case of python.
So if I am able to find someone who is not currently a Debian package maintainer who is willing to take on the job I should have them register as the package maintainer and not I? I was thinking it would be best for me to register as the maintainer for all of the packages that we are trying to get included so that I could make sure that these packages are indeed getting the necessary attention and seek additional developers if needed.
