As it is now, we have a lot of people who are maintaining their own packages outside of Debian. Can we get enough support to reintegrate both the people and the code? This is a social more than a technical problem at the moment. Case in point: the subthread[1] starting with Marco D'Itri's > This would be a lot of work for the benefit of a tiny audience: the disturbed people who hate systemd so much that they cannot accept even that libsystemd is installed on their computers. Two well-known DDs chimed in in support, and all replies from DDs to critical replies were completely dismissive of the criticism. Previous instances of this have been similar. What should I tell the people who are now maintaining these packages outside of Debian will happen if they return? As of now, I have no answer that would not be met with "see, that is why we left."
