I can only agree. I hear a lot of people saying that the Hurd port
existing is a great thing, but a lot less people helping with it.
(I do thank all the people who work on it without necessarily being
noticed).

They have.

Patching software should be handled upstream indeed.

I meant only for the Debian-specific things, I am the only DD who
currently uses its key for signing packages, making CD images, etc.
That's what I meant by "the daily ports things".
For the non-Debian-specific things like patching packages, I am
thankfully really not alone, and I completely agree it can't be a
one-person thing.
