At NLnet Labs we prefer these open source packages are better maintained by someone from within the (Debian) community. It allows non-affiliated persons to be more in-tune with the packaging method of the distribution and are more free to make own choices. We don't advocate a particular distribution. Having said that, we have a natural interest that the maintenance does not get orphaned. I'm sure that one of us, on a personal basis (i.e. outside of our organization control) would want to volunteer, but only if there are really no other candidates and for a transitional period. Our organization allows for us to do these kind of things, without NLnet Labs having any responsibility or accountability in this. But it would be a lot better for Debian as well to have others step in. With kind regards, Berry van Halderen
