Although Arnaud helped a lot, I did substantial work on Docker and its
dependencies (not merely "last touched the package").

IMHO most of the effort is with Docker's enormous dependency tree so we
always have to package new dependencies (they keep adding more with every
release, not caring the slightest about code bloat); take care of bugs, tests
and everything. One have to remember that Docker is more than 100 packages
that need good maintenance hence team effort is the only sustainable way to
ensure good health of those packages.
I'm planning to eventually retire from Docker maintenance.

We need more man power, not great skills. :)
https://mentors.debian.net/qa is a good source of maintainer's wisdom and
whatever questions you have, you are welcome to ask here - I'm sure everybody
will be happy to help. Welcome. :)

On one level, wisdom is nothing more profound than an ability to follow
one’s own advice.
