Why is Libreoffice not team maintained, for example? Where is the KDE
team doing bug triaging? There are less important packages where the
maintainer has been searching for help to work in a team for years
without success.
And instead of relieving those people, they now get responsible for
their dependencies as well if their maintainers are overworked as well
if they want their packages to be in stretch.
